The answer is T\u014drin-ji Temple. Adjacent to the Nio guardian statues at the temple\u2019s mountain gate stands the Gongen-d\u014d Hall. Unlike Utaki, it has been famous since the Ryukyu Dynasty as a place that enshrines the Three Deities of Kumano, alongside the Ryukyu Eight Shrines and Miyako Shrine.

On the other hand, there are \u201cUtaki\u201d\u2014sacred sites that are equivalent to shrines on the mainland.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A \"Mitake\" is a place where deities are enshrined, and it is the site of numerous village ceremonies, harvest festivals, and other celebrations. You can see Mitake\u2014with their torii gates and worship halls\u2014all over the island.

Surprisingly, in the *Ryukyu Kokki* (*Chronicles of the Ryukyu Kingdom*), the Gongen-d\u014d is listed as a shrine, referred to as the \u201dT\u014drin-ji Temple and Associated Shrine in Nankai Mountain.\u201d Although it is such a sacred hall, it was severely damaged along with T\u014drin-ji Temple by the Great Meiwa Tsunami of 1771.

Inside the Gongen-do Shrine, you\u2019ll find bracket supports with peony reliefs, crossbeams carved with waves and demon figures, handrails featuring Chinese lions, and corner posts carved with dragons. Since this kind of unique architecture is rarely seen on the mainland, it might be worth taking a closer look at the island\u2019s distinctive culture surrounding these structures while you\u2019re visiting Ishigaki Island. Additionally, because it\u2019s close to the city center and the remote island terminal, there are plenty of dining options nearby.
