Traveler highlights

Naminoue Shrine stands on a coral-reef cliff in Naha. It is the foremost of the Ryukyu Eight Shrines and is regarded as Okinawa’s guardian shrine. Its vermilion buildings contrast with the blue sea, with views of the Pacific from the cliff. After visiting, walk to nearby Naminoue Beach to pair shrine grounds with a seaside stroll. Shell-themed good-luck charms and schoolbag-shaped traffic-safety charms are popular mementos.
