Utaki

Utaki

Utaki (御嶽) is an Okinawan term for a sacred place. Although the term "utaki" is used throughout the Okinawa region, the terms "suku" and "on" are heard in the Miyako and Yaeyama regions respectively. Utaki are usually located on the outskirts of villages and are places for the veneration of gods and ancestors. Most gusuku have places of worship, and it is theorized that the origins of both "gusuku" and "utaki" are closely related.
