We will cycle through the back streets of Shuri while visiting the Eto (Chinese zodiac) shrines, a lucky event unique to Okinawa that has been practiced since the Ryukyu Kingdom era. In Naha City, Okinawa, there is a method of worship that has been passed down since the Ryukyu Kingdom era, known as "Shuri Junishi Mairi" (Shuri Twelve Zodiac Pilgrimage) or "Teramai" (Temple Visit), named after the twelve Chinese zodiac signs. If you explore episodes related to your birth year's zodiac sign, with a Goshuincho (stamp book) in hand, and visit the old houses and back streets of Shuri, you can experience a feeling of time-slipping.
