Cute Shisa Statues & Ryukyu Vibes in Naha City 🦁✨

If you’re wandering around Naha City, don’t miss all the adorable shisa statues chillin’ everywhere! 🦁 They’re seriously a vibe, adding a super charming touch to the streets—even when the weather’s cloudy or rainy. Shisa are traditional lion-dog guardians from Okinawa, and spotting three in one park is like hitting a jackpot of cuteness! The local Ryukyu culture here is sooo interesting and has some similarities to Chinese traditions. The parks often mix modern architecture with lush trees and close-ups of these iconic shisa, making Naha the perfect blend of cultural history and Insta-worthy scenes. ✨ Hot tip: Take a stroll through Naha City Park (address: 1-1 Kume, Naha, Okinawa) for a guaranteed shisa sighting. Most parks are open daily from around 8:00am to 7:00pm. Don’t forget your umbrella, but rain or shine, these lion guardians will seriously brighten your feed! s #hellohalloween
