Sightseeing Spot・
A huge
Shisa carved in stone stands on the hill where the Jiri Castle was located.
The Shisa was put up in 1689 to ward off fires which had repeatedly devastated
Okinawa in the past. It is the biggest and oldest Shisa in Okinawa, and
has been designated as one of the tangible cultural properties of the
Prefecture. The Shisa today, aside from watching over the village, also
stands as a silent monument to the devastations of war because it still
shows traces of several bullet marks it received during the Battle of
Okinawa. A Huge Shisa of Tomori Related Contents
