Okinawa's most important Shinto shrine perches dramatically on a coral cliff above Naminoue Beach — one of the few city beaches in Japan. Originally a sacred site of the native Ryukyuan religion, facing Nirai Kanai (the mythical paradise beyond the sea), it blends Ryukyuan and Shinto spiritual traditions in a way found nowhere else in Japan. Destroyed during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945, it was rebuilt in 1953.
