[Okinawa] Ginowan City If you want to visit shrines in Okinawa, go to Futenma Shrine in Futenma

Futenma Shrine is one of the eight Ryukyu shrines in Futenma, Ginowan City. Although it is a small shrine, it is a historic shrine that is visited by locals from early in the morning even on weekdays. The shrine offers a wide range of benefits, from prayers for health and traffic to prayers for success and safe childbirth. Futenma Shrine also has a cave next to the main hall, despite being a shrine. Inside the cave, which is about 280 meters long and made of limestone, is a mysterious space that can be visited for free. Guided tours are given every 20 minutes, and photography is prohibited inside the limestone cave, which is a sacred place. The goshuin book also has a design that is typical of Okinawa, so it is recommended to start collecting goshuin from here. Futenma Shrine is a shrine where you can visit not only the shrine but also the limestone cave. Why not visit it to make memories of your trip to Okinawa?

Okinawa, Japan | Futenmangu Shrine: One of the Eight Great Shrines, a Sacred Cave Site, and a Guardian of the Castle Futenmangu Shrine, located in Ginowan City, is one of the Eight Great Shrines in Okinawa. Unlike other shrines, it features a natural limestone cave connected to its back—an ancient site considered a sacred place. Built during the Ryukyu Kingdom era, Futenmangu Shrine enshrines the Kumano Three Gods and local Ryukyu deities, and has long protected the local people. Its vermilion torii gate stands quietly amidst the city streets, against the backdrop of the blue sky, creating a solemn yet intimate atmosphere. Entering the shrine, the halls are simple yet elegant. Most notably, after visiting the shrine, you can sign up for a tour of the Futenman Cave. The air within the cave is cool and humid, stalactites crisscross, and the caverns, illuminated by light, create a mysterious atmosphere. Local legend holds that this is where the gods descend, and it was once a sacred place for priests to practice and pray. For travelers, Futenmangu Shrine is more than just a shrine for worship and prayer; it's a unique place to experience the interplay of nature and faith. It reminds us that Ryukyu faith isn't confined to buildings and temples, but is deeply connected to the mountains, rivers, caves, and the earth.
