Kinjocho Stone Path

**Walk down, not up.** The gradient is severe. Coming from Shuri Castle downhill is much easier than the reverse, and there are buses at the bottom. **The stones are slippery when wet.** Worn limestone on a steep slope. In rain this is genuinely hazardous in smooth-soled shoes. **Find the akagi grove.** Five trees of two to three hundred years old in the Uchikanagusuku sacred grove partway down — among the only large old trees left in Naha after 1945. It is a place of worship; behave accordingly. **There is a house you can go into.** A restored traditional dwelling partway along is open as a rest stop, free, and gives shade and a view down the lane. **Three hundred metres out of ten kilometres.** That ratio is the war. It is worth knowing what you are looking at the remnant of.
