Nice but very small

We paid a visit to this shrine which is nice but very small. Roadwork was handled nearby. Half the room is set for souvenirs sale. Not so interesting if I may.

Sinto shrine locating in the town. Easily accessible by car and bus. The atmosphere is quiet and soothing.

沖縄県中部最大の聖地であり、琉球八社の一つ「普天満宮」です。創建は、普天満の洞窟に「琉球古神道神」を祀ったことに始まったそうです。のちに、日本（本土）の「熊野権現」を合祀したとされているようです。よって、御祭神は「琉球古神道神」と「熊野権現」だそうですよ。ちなみに、私は時間的に拝観することが出来ませんでしたが、「普天満宮」にはその「普天満宮洞穴」があり、奥宮が祀られているそうですよ。
