I recently had the honor of tagging along with two friends that had been invited along for a survey of important local cultural sites in Hedo Village. The small village is in the extreme northern end of Okinawa where Route 58 doubles back toward the south then east before ending in nearby Oku Village. We initially believed that our day would involve hours of mountain climbing as the village officials searched for the remains of Amami Island persons suspected to be in the local vicinity. Instead our journey was to a half-dozen shrines around the village center; we were grateful nonetheless for the invitation and all enjoyed spending time in the beautiful but sleepy Hedo Village.
