Conclusion
1 Funeral Prison
I think that there are many people who thought "Why do you read it?" By looking at the letter "Funa Utaki", but I actually read it as (Fua Utaki). It is a famous power spot that is also registered as a World Heritage Site.
In Okinawa Prefecture, there are many places where musical events called Utaki (Utaki) are performed. And in Ryukyu mythology, when God created the main island of Okinawa, nine sacred places were created, of which seven sacred plants are present.
The seven Utaki are believed as the Ryukyu Opening Seven Utaki (Dukyuu Utaki Utaki), but the most sacred places of the Utaki are the Saya Utaki.
Unlike Shinto shrine temples in Honshu, temples and the like are not built in Utaki of Okinawa, mostly it is the way of faith that worships natural monstrophy etc as a temple.
Therefore, some people say that even if you go to Funa Utaki "There are no buildings to see", but that is wrongly seen. It is important to visit while thinking that it is a place to absorb the natural energy produced by the surrounding nature, the texture of the air, trees and megalithes existing there.
2 Kudakajima
Kudakajima (Okinawa Island) is a power spot representing Okinawa Prefecture and is also called the island of God. Kudaka island is a very small island, about 8 km around the island, which is 5 kilometers away from Nanjo city (Nanjyushi) in the southern part of Okinawa's main island.
Because such a small island is called power spot, it is the sacred place of Ryukyus, which is said to have been told that God, Amami Kiyo, who is said to have opened the Ryukyus, has come down from the world of heaven and started making nation from the land of Kutakajima It is.
Kudakajima with such legend is not an exaggeration to say that the entire island is a power spot, but it seems that you can get sacred power just by walking around the island slowly.
On Kutakajima, sacred places such as "Ishikihama" where the coming gods come from "Niraikanai" which exists in different time and space from this world and "Cape Cabel" where the god who produced the Ryukyus first got off the ground There are also a lot, so if you spend a day and traveling around the island, you may be able to receive sacred power that you can not taste in your everyday life.
3 Shuri Castle
Shuri Castle is a major sightseeing spot to say that everyone will visit if you come to sightseeing in Okinawa Prefecture, this is also a hidden power spot here.
Shuri Castle is designed by Feng Shui of Ryukyu dynasty to calculate Feng Shui and it is said that it is designed to catch the wind. It is thought that the fate of the wind will rise on the feng shui by catching the wind.
Therefore, it is thought that socializing and encounter luck will be improved, and its power is said to be able to efficiently absorb luck by adding more water.
Because of that, there is a place where the clean spring water used as the drinking water of the royal palace called Ryuui (Gyuhi) gushes out on the way to the castle of Shuri Castle, but these places also come from Feng Shui's way of thinking It can be said that it is designed. Also, this dragon gut itself is also a power spot you know.
Also in Shuri Castle on the way to the castle owner, the Utaka the king prayed for during the Ryukyu dynasty remains, and Shuri castle where the whole castle can be called power spot is a recommended spot where you can enjoy sightseeing while enjoying power you know.
Also around the Shuri castle, there are graves of the King of the Ryukyu dynasty of the past, etc. If there is time, it is recommended to also look around the castle.
4 Valley of Gangalla
Because the valley of Gangalah is located just opposite the Okinawa World, it is a recommended power spot that you can drop in with Okinawa sightseeing.
In the valley of Gangalla, the place where mankind lived in the days of ancient times, such as the excavation of human fossils of tens of thousands of years ago, the existence of ancient people's residence, and so on. In the valley there are caves, bamboo shoots growing thousands of years old, growing trees are said to have spirits in this tree.
There is a Utaki (Utaki) called Kanako Utaki in the limestone cave, and a mysterious atmosphere drifts in the valley. It is a place where you can get power from ancient trees and stalactites, and this place is also well accessible from Naha Airport, so it is recommended in the spot where you can go relatively easily.
Since the gangaran valley is a form to guide people in the guide in tour form, it is recommended to basically advance reservation.
5 Hamahigaokajima
Hamahigajima is a small island that is located just in the center of Okinawa main island, which is away from the main island of Okinawa, but now passes through a beautiful road that is maintained on the sea, called an underwater road And you can access it. And there are more than 30 places of worship in Hamahigajima, and many festivals are held as annual events.
Hamahigajima is scattered with old-fashioned red tile roofs and Ishigaki of Ryukyu limestone and is a rich natural island, but there are Mt. Utaki in the east (aka Synagudo), which stands quietly under a large banyan alpine , The cave of Sirmichu quietly rising in the lush forest are all tasteful mysterious spaces.
If you are planning to take a tour of such Hamahigajima, it is recommended that you park your car and walk slowly through the village. Here, old-fashioned island time is flowing, even if you are walking on the island you get something mysterious power and you feel like refreshing.

Koryijima (Korijima) is a small island with only around 8 km in one circle, and recently it is popular as the place where Okinawa's original scenery and the ocean remain a few old Okinawa main island, but here too it is actually unknown power It is a spot.
And on the island, there are seven Utaki, prayers are dedicated to each of them for easy delivery prayers to give their children. In the vicinity of the beach named Chinugu Beach on the west side of the island there is a Utaki called West Hyuga. What I have to pay attention to is that West Hyakl is a male prohibition. Since there are rules for worshiping, it is important to visit locals and visit them so that they will not be rude.
There is no doubt that the power spot where the Ryukyus who left the legend that it was born from Kuri-yori island will heal both the mind and the body as well as the surrounding great views.

A megalith group called Oishi Rayama (Daisuke Kirin Zan) stands near the Higashimisaki (Hadesisaki) at the northernmost tip of Okinawa main island. Even if it is not said to be a power spot here, the landscape with the surroundings is obviously different and I feel the strong power of the earth.
