A colpo d'occhio
The shrine's name literally means 'above the waves,' and sailors entering Naha Port would look up at it from their ships to pray for safe voyages. The Ryukyuan kings themselves visited every New Year to pray for the entire nation's prosperity.
Originally a sacred site of Ryukyuan religion dedicated to nirai kanai (the mythical source of all life), the shrine was transformed into a State Shinto institution in 1890 after Japan annexed the Ryukyu Kingdom.
