There are 18 World Heritage Sites in Japan. 9 of them are in Okinawa. Logan and I have now been to 6 of them. Today we went to the most sacred site of the Ryukyu Kingdom (Okinawa and several smaller islands). It is actually a collection of several alters. It used to be up kept by priestesses and is still visited and worshiped by pilgrims. It is on a beautiful hill outlooking the Pacific Ocean.
It was about an hour away but Connor did great the whole time! It is great being able to get out more and explore our little island. It was also nice to get out of the house considering our water was off and unusable. (We woke up to no water Sunday morning because a water line had broke, they got it back on eventually but told us it had been contaminated so we couldn't use it unless we boiled it for 3 minutes. Thankfully it was back to normal by Monday evening)
The water in the pots drop from two stalactites above and was used in ceremonies to predict the future.
Next to them is a cool triangle naturally made by the rocks above.
I thought the weather was perfect! but Logan and Connor were both red and sweating. Connor is such a boy!
It was overcast but surprisingly bright.
At the visitor center, there was a guy making these cool sighs. We got one for Connor! It was so fun watching him make it and it only took him about 4 minutes! Perfect souvenir for our little island baby!
