Naminoue is the most famous shrine in Naha.
It is near the city beach within the same name.
During the first week of the year many people goes there to pray.
To send traditional arrows and prayers.
You read your destiny on a holy piece of paper and you tie.
Requesting the best wishes.
I did mine too, the one on the right side.
After that, there are numerous stalls to enjoy food and plays.
Beside Naminoue is Shiseibyo.
A Confucian temple. It served for centuries as a major center of Chinese learning for the Ryukyu Kingdom.
