A place of worship at the ruins of Imakijin Castle. According to the explanation board, the god of fire of the Kitayama guardian clan is enshrined here, and the ritual is still being held. I visited the castles that remain in Okinawa, but there are many places where worship places remain not only in Nakijin Castle but also in the castle.
