    The Torin Temple is a Myoshin-ji school Rinzai Buddhist temple in Ishigaki City. It was founded in 1614 following a request from the Satsuma han (domain). The building was damaged by the Meiwa Tsunami in 1771, but was rebuilt in 1786. The temple suffered serious damage during the Battle of Okinawa in1945; it was rebuilt once again in 1947. The Torin-ji Temple has been designated as a National Important Cultural Property; it is the oldest wooden building in Okinawa. Statues of the two Deva Kings (guardian deities) flank the Sanmon gate; these carved statues are a Prefecture-designated Cultural Property.

    This tiny temple was suggested by a taxi driver after visiting the Limestone Cave. Certainly. there are not so many touristic spots in the downtown area of Ishigaki Island. It is somewhat detached...

    This temple located in Tomizaki, Arakawa, Ishigaki City is said to have been established in 1701.

    Okinawa Ishigaki-shi Tonoshiro 68

    浄土真宗本願寺派の寺院でした。周りは塀で囲まれている為、道路側からうかがうと1階部分は駐車場として整備されていました。その為、寺院としては2階部分となっているように見受けられました。

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
