It is probably the oldest Buddhist Temple in Okinawa, since 1367 AD. It mainly worships Avalokiteśvara in classic Indian or Bodhisattva, a female Goddess of Mercy, in English, while it also worships other Buddhist deities in two side halls.

In 1853, when U.S. Admiral Matthew Calbraith Perry led his fleet to visit Okinawa and requested for commerce, the Temple was the site for negotiation between Matthew Calbraith Perry and then Ryukyu Kingdom.

The Temple was destroyed during the war in 1945, and it then started rebuilding after 1945.

The young Master Monk is friendly toward visitors and worshippers, and the Temple has attracted numerous worshippers for sitting-pray in the main worship hall and two side-halls. He even reminded visitors for being careful about pigeon which stations inside worship hall.

The Temple, Gokoku-ji, is located next to or right-side of Naminoue Shrine and in Naminoue Beach. It is fee-free...

Not the biggest temple, but it's easy to get to and next to Naminoue Beach. You can get a nice photo of the temple from the beach or the bridge which runs...

No photo in the main temple. Not exactly a tourist location but rather a community-tied Buddhist temple. The day I visited there was a...

沖縄で一番古いといわれている寺院。ご本尊は聖観世音菩薩。 波上宮に参拝の折り、波上宮の入り口にあったので何気なく行ってみると本堂には自由に入れるので 参らせていただきました。 観世音菩薩をはじめ大日如来や不動明王など立派な仏像が並び、 思いも寄らなかったので背筋が伸びました。見応えがありました❗️ 地元の人と思われる、年輩の方々が 熱心に拝んでおられました。 私は仏様に包み込まれているような？心地好さがありました。何故だか心が落ち着きました。 願わくば又何度でも参りたい…沖縄なので無理だけど。
