The Dragon Deity Couple in Ameku, Naha City

I visited a place in Ameku, Naha City, where dragon deities are enshrined.

It seemed to be a very cherished place, and several people were there offering prayers.

These are said to be the first dragon deities to have descended upon Okinawa—a father dragon and a mother dragon. Interestingly, rather than being enshrined together, they are worshipped separately at a short distance from each other.
