Overview

The tour is designed to allow you to experience a little-seen part of Okinawan culture. Cycling around the back alleys of the city with your local guide, you will embark on a pilgrimage to the various Zodiac shrines of Naha and Shuri. You will have the chance to witness modern-day Okinawans observe worship traditions dating all the way back to the Ryukyu Kingdom era. This is your opportunity to experience for yourself shrines, temples, sacred springs, royal mausoleums, and more in the unique Ryukyuan style.

If we're lucky, the kami (gods), bodhisattvas, ancestors, etc. may look favorably upon you and your kin!

※If the precipitation probability exceeds 70% or in case of severe weather, we may change plans. In this case, we will contact you the day before.

Ankoku-ji Temple
  • 20m

Sairaiin (Daruma Temple)
  • 20m
This temple is visited by many devotees who make pilgrimages to pray for good health and pregnancy while giving thanks for their current life. It’s a must-see temple given the bright red daruma dolls and captivating beauty of the torii gates. ◎Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

Cross the main street and pass through the monorail that runs above you in mid-air, and you will suddenly arrive at a temple with a sacred atmosphere. Next to the new temple, rebuilt after the war, an ancient Japanese Jizo statue stands warmly greeting visitors.
Tamanaha Miso Shoyu (Pass by)
As you wander down nostalgic roads that can only be accessed by bicycle, the aroma of rice malt wafts through the air. Surrounded by stone walls that remained intact during the war, the traditional, tiled factory will make you feel as if you have traveled back in time.

Omoromachi (Pass by)
Back in WWII, this small unassuming hill was the site of a fierce battle. In the past, atop this hill, you could see all the way to the Kerama Islands, but now it is surrounded by modern buildings and condominiums. This place feels like a fusion of the present and the past where the history of war is passed down quietly. ◎Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan
Sogenji-dori
  • 15m
Enjoy a thrilling downhill ride to the sacred place where successive kings of the Ryukyu Kingdom were entombed. Although it is now a park in the city with refreshing, clean air, the stone gate and banyan tree that stretches straight out towards the sky convey the feeling of a place lost in time to the Ryukyu Kingdom.
