Sueyoshi-gū, Shinto shrine in Sueyoshi Park, Japan
The shrine features a wooden main hall with three columns, traditional thatched roof, and stone-paved paths leading to a bridge over a valley.
Established around 1450 during the reign of King Sho Taikyu, the shrine became one of the Eight Shrines of Ryūkyū with special status from the government.
The shrine follows the nagare-zukuri architectural style, incorporating flowing lines and specific roof designs that represent traditional Japanese religious construction methods.
Located six minutes from Shiritsu Byoin-mae monorail station, the shrine remains open daily without admission fees and includes parking facilities for visitors.
A sacred bell presented by King Sho Tai in 1457 connects the shrine to Hensho-ji Temple, demonstrating the intertwined religious history of these locations.
