Shinahara Photo Spot: Shonan Former Miyaji Residence Ruins
Introduction
In 2010 (Heisei 22), the entire site of the Shonahara Former Ryuichi Family was jointly designated as a historical park within the town property. Within the site, there are still remains of the Fuur (a toilet that doubles as a pig pen), Hinpin (decorative fences that block the wind and protect from the sun), stone pavements and stone steps that run from the entrance to the residence through the courtyards. Fuur and Hinpin are believed to have originated in China and are associated with the beliefs and superstitions that have spread to Okinawa. The Shonahara Town site has been designated as a designated historical site because it is one of the few places in Nishihara Town that retains a grove of ficus trees, characteristic of Okinawan traditional residences.
