Sefa Utaki

Sangui

One of the six Ibi (sacred sites) within Sefa Utaki, Sangui can be found after passing through a mysterious triangular space created by two large boulders leaning on each other. From the cobbled stone area toward the back, gold magatama beads have been excavated, which were designated as national important cultural properties. Sefa Utaki is said to have been created by Amamikiyo, the creation deity of the Ryukyu Islands, and the atmosphere of sunlight filtering through the trees is worthy of the legend that gods have created this place.
