Naminoue Beach

This guide to Naminoue Beach in Naha opens with a fisherman's net pulling up a strange glowing stone at the foot of this cliff, long before any shrine stood here, and the fortune it seemed to bring him. It follows the oracle voice islanders say later spoke from the rock, and the sailors and foreign traders who turned toward this bluff for a safe crossing out toward the horizon called nirai kanai. Stand on the sand and look up at the shrine gate crowning the cliff, worn by centuries of tide.
