    When we visited Naminoue Shrine on the first day, it happened to be cloudy, so it felt like the blue-sky-and-ocean atmosphere was missing. We made a special trip back the next day! Naminoue Shrine is really popular, and there were quite a few visitors. This time, instead of crowding around the front, we walked along the road behind it and looked back at the shrine from the bridge. With Naminoue Beach below and the pale blue water, the view from this angle was unexpectedly beautiful.

    It takes quite a bit of extra walking to get here, but we treated it as a stroll, and it was pleasant to enjoy the scenery along the way. When the weather is good, Naminoue Shrine with the ocean view really feels like Okinawa. It's worth making a special trip to see!
