Chatan Uchinā-yā Residence
[edit]- Chatan Uchinā-yā Residence main house (北谷町うちなぁ家主屋 旧目取真家住宅主屋) (National)[5]
- Chatan Uchinā-yā residence pig pen latrines (北谷町うちなぁ家ふーる 旧崎原家住宅ふーる) (National)[6]
Address: 904-0101 Chatan, Aza Kamisedo 830-2 (loc. 26°19′41″N 127°46′06″E / 26.32795°N 127.76830°E)
The traditional Ryūkyūan residence currently known under the name of “Chatan Uchinā-yā” (lit. “the Okinawan house of Chatan”) is a compound including the main house of the former Medoruma Family Residence and the pigpen latrines (fūru) of the former Sakihama Residence, as well as a raised floor storehouse, a sugar cane press and a well. All components were moved and restored to create a touristic and educative facility. The main house and the fūru were designated as “National Cultural Properties” in February 2012.[7]
When the Medoruma family renovated its residence in 1993, the family offered to donate the main house, a wooden building covered with red tiles that had been built in 1890, to the Board of Education. It was moved in 2005 from Aza Yoshihara to its current location and renovated, and several other components of a traditional Ryūkyūan residence were added to complete the facility that now occupies 608 m².[8]
The main house covers 104 m², it is constructed according to the rules defined by the Ryūkyū Kingdom administration concerning residences (Law on the Limitations for Residential Areas and Houses 敷地家屋の制限令, 1737). The size of the houses and of each room was fixed in accordance to the rank of the owner (no more than 6 tatami mats per room for a commoner’s house). Tile covering was prohibited for commoners until the abrogation of the law in 1889. [9]
It has a residential part on the east composed of two main rooms and a back room (ichibanzā, nibanzā and kucha) and a kitchen on the west.[9]
The pigpen latrines (fūru / uwāfūru) used to be in the Sakihama Residence in Aza Tamagami. They are located in the northwestern corner of the residence, as they used to be traditionally. They are built and paved in limestone and include two pigpens with arched roofs on the back. [9]
The foundations of the sugar cane press are also made in stone, and the iron wheels date back to the 1880’s. It was used until after WWII. An evocation of the cattle house, with four stone pillars, is located in front of the sugar cane press. The structure would then have been covered by a thatched roof and have several wooden partitions.[9]
The raised floor storehouse was originally in Amami (Man’ya in Kasari Town). All the storehouses of Chatan Town were burnt down during the war so that it was not possible to obtain one from the town.[9]
The facility also presents a variety of traditional tools, utensils and vessels.[10]
Chibu-gā Spring
[edit]- Chibu-gā Spring (ちぶ川) (Municipal)
Address: 904-0107 Chatan, Aza Ōmura (loc. 26°18′19″N 127°46′20″E / 26.30529°N 127.77213°E)
Chibu-gā was located on the eastern side of the settlement of Tamēshi (currently Tamayose). After the war, the land was seized by the U.S. Forces: it is currently inside Camp Foster.
Chibu-gā was the spring from which the water for childbirth, the first bath of the new borns and the children’s mijinadī ritual was drawn, and is thus also called ubu-gā / nbu-gā (the birth spring). It was also used for the wakamiji sacred water of the new year and the everyday drinking water. Two wooden planks (dīji) were set floating on the water of the basin to ease laundry. They used to be made of Ryūkyū pine, and recycled from the sugar cane press of the settlement.[11]
Chibu-gā constantly had water even during the great droughts. It was used by the people from Tamēshi, but also the neighbouring Chatan and Rindō.[12]
The spring was buried during the construction works for Prefectural Road 130 but it was restored in 2004 and designated as a "Municipal Cultural Property" that same year. Since the incense burner used to be located where the prefecture road now runs, it was relocated to the side of the spring.[11]
Two types of masonry can be observed in the stone walls of Chibu-gā: ashlar rectangular masonry (nuno-tsumi) and ashlar polygonal masonry (aikata-tsumi). The water is first collected in a small pool before it is poured into the main pool through three spouts. The spring is accessed by the front left of the main pool, through stairs with nine grades. Although the spring itself is probably older, the stone masonry is dated of the end of 18th or beginning of 19th century.[12]
Chibu-gā is still a sacred place. Prayers called kā-ugami (well prayers) are given there by the members of the Chatan Noro Dunchi household on the 3rd day of the 1st month (lunar calendar) and the 11th day of the 8th month each year. Prayers are also given there on the Ningwachā festival of the 2nd month by the Chatan Noro Dunchi household and the village inhabitants.
The spring was not accessible for several decades and the praying site had been relocated to the Tamayose Settlement Joint Praying Site in Chatan Chōrōyama Ritual Complex (Chatan, Ōmura Tamayosebaru 14). However, during the 2004 renovation, an incense burner was placed anew on the spring side.[13]
Agari-nu-utaki
[edit]- Agari-nu-utaki Sacred Site (inside Chatan Gusuku) (北谷城内「東ノ御嶽」) (Municipal)
Address: 904-0107 Chatan, Aza Ōmura, Gusukubaru 369 (loc. 26°18′32″N 127°45′57″E / 26.30888°N 127.76590°E)
Agari-nu-utaki or Agari Utaki (lit. “the eastern sacred site”) is one of the three sacred sites located inside Chatan Gusuku with Iri-nu-utaki and Tun. After the war, the land was seized by the U.S. Forces and a pray-from-afar altar was set for Agari-nu-utaki in Chatan Chōrōyama Ritual Complex. In 1993, while still inside Camp Foster, the sacred site was reconstructed in the southern part of the third enclosure of Chatan Gusuku. It was designated as a "Municipal Folk Cultural Property" by Chatan Town in 2004.[14][15]
The area of Chatan Gusuku was returned to Japan in 2020 but access is still strictly controlled by the Japanese Defense Bureau.[16]
Agari-nu-utaki is possibly the sacred site mentioned in the Ryūkyū-koku yurai-ki as “Yoshinoutaki”, with the name of the god being “Tengono-oibi”.
The Chatan Noro Dunchi household says that until the war, Agari-nu-utaki was used as a utūshī (pray-from-afar altar) to address prayers to the Yanbaru Kubō Utaki (possibly the Kuba Utaki of Nakijin). Currently, prayers are being given at this site on the Umachī festivals of the 5th and 6th months of the lunar calendar by the Chatan Noro Dunchi household and representatives of the Friends of Aza Chatan Association.[14]
Chatan Tun
[edit]- Tun Sacred Site (inside Chatan Gusuku) (北谷城内「殿」)(Municipal)
Address: 904-0107 Chatan, Aza Ōmura, Gusukubaru 369 (loc. 26°18′32″N 127°45′57″E / 26.30888°N 127.76590°E)
Chatan Tun, locally referred simply as “Tun” (lit. “the residence”) is one of the three sacred sites located inside Chatan Gusuku with Iri-nu-utaki and Agari-nu-utaki. There used to be remains (stone walls) that suggested the former presence of a residence there. After the war, the land was seized by the U.S. Forces and a pray-from-afar altar was set for Chatan Tun in Chatan Chōrōyama Ritual Complex. In 1993, while still inside Camp Foster, the sacred site was reconstructed in the southwestern part of the third enclosure of Chatan Gusuku, about 15 m northeastward of its original location. It was designated as a "Municipal Folk Cultural Property" by Chatan Town in 2004. [17] [18]
The area of Chatan Gusuku was returned to Japan in 2020 but access is still strictly controlled by the Japanese Defense Bureau.[16]
Chatan Tun is probably the sacred site mentioned in the Ryūkyū-koku yurai-ki as “Chatan-gusuku-nai-nu-tun” (lit. “the tun inside Chatan Gusuku”), that is said to be a praying site for both Chatan and Tamēshi (currently Tamayose) Villages. Prayers were given there for the rice-ears festival and the rice-harvest festival by Chatan Noro. There were also offerings by local administrators (jitū, ufuyaku) and the village people.
Currently, prayers are being given at this site on the Umachī festivals of the 5th and 6th months of the lunar calendar by the Chatan Noro Dunchi household and representatives of the Friends of Aza Chatan Association.[17]
Ireibaru Archaeological Site
[edit]- Ireibaru Archaeological Site (伊礼原遺跡) (National, designated 22 February 2010)
Address: Chatan, Ihei 1-11 (loc. 26°19′27″N 127°45′30″E / 26.324229350734°N 127.75839300427°E)
A three-year survey of a 40.5 ha area located in the northern part of Camp Kuwae, starting in 1995, disclosed ten archaeological sites and six artefact scatters, designed as a whole as the “Ireibaru Archaeological Site”.
The Ireibaru Archaeological Site has occupations spanning about 7000 years, from the Kaizuka period to the Gusuku period, which makes it particularly important for the Ryūkyūan archaeology. Ireibaru is also the only site in Ryūkyū continually occupied for the whole length of the Kaizuka Period.
The site yielded seeds, grains and wooden artefacts that are generally poorly conserved, as well as animal and fish bones or shells, making it possible to reconstruct the evolution of the environment.
Those particulars explain that the site was designated as a National Historic Site in 2010.[19][20]
The site is located on low lands spreading from the foot of hills to the sea, with a spring at the foot of the hills that provided a large quantity of drinking water. It is also ideally located to exploit both the marine and land resources. Its particular location may explain that it appealed to human populations of so different periods.[19]
The low wetlands drained by the water spring were used as a food collection and then production area, hosting a natural mangrove forest and then rice paddy fields, while the higher grounds at the foot of the hills where sand dunes slowly grew saw the development of settlements. The settlements appear to move in time along the sand dune, but the area is constantly occupied from the Early Kaizuka Period to WWII.[20]
Chatan Gusuku
[edit]- Chatan Castle Site (北谷城跡) (National)
Address: Chatan, Aza Ōmura, Gusukubaru (loc. 26°18′34″N 127°46′01″E / 26.30947°N 127.76698°E)
Chatan Gusuku is a fortress of the Chūzan area that was in use from the latter half of the 13th century to the first half of the 16th century. It is located in the southern part of Chatan Town, on a hill dominating the landscape along the western coast of Okinawa Island, bordered by the Shirahi-gawa River on the north. The remains are about 500 m long east-west and between 30 and 100 m wide north-south, and consist in five enclosures with their associated structures. Its size makes it one of the largest gusukus in Okinawa Island, after Shuri, Nakijin, Itokazu and Nanzan. The walls present different techniques of masonry such as rubble masonry and ashlar rectangular masonry. The remains of the residential building have been identified, and the site has yielded a large quantity of stoneware and porcelain obtained by oversea trade.[21][22]
The villages of Chatan, Tamayose and Rindō that developed on the south side of Chatan Gusuku before the war were considered as directly linked to the gusuku.[22]
It is an important site for the Ryūkyūan history, starting in the Three Kingdoms period, which is why it was designated as a National Historic Site in 2021.[21]
Hamagawa Ugan Archaeological Site
[edit]- Hamagawa Ugan Archaeological Site (浜川ウガン遺跡) (Municipal)
Address: 904-0112 Chatan, Aza Hamagawa, Senbaru 47 (loc. 26°19′37″N 127°45′11″E / 26.326956019615°N 127.75296714443°E)
Hamagawa Ugan, one of the sacred sites of Hamagawa Settlement, is a limestone outcrop about 15 m long, 10 m wide and 10 m high, located at the junction between National Road 58 and Prefectural Road 23. It corresponds to the sacred site named “Shimamuiyoriage-no-taki” (島森ヨリアゲノ嶽) in the Ryūkyū-koku yurai-ki. [23][24]
The archaeological site is located on the southern side of the hill, at the foot of the slope, and consists in a shell mound of marine shells that yielded flat constricted bottom pottery characteristic of the Late Kaizuka Period (8th-10th centuries). The site is notable for the discovery of personal ornaments made of cowrie shells, comparable to the ones that have been found in Point No. 7 in Gushikawa Island Site Group (Izena Village). The artefacts are not associated with any archaeological remains of a residential occupation. Although it is possible the artefacts have fallen from the top of the Hamagawa Ugan outcrop, it is very unlikely that there was a settlement on top, since it is difficult to climb and the space on top is very narrow.[23][24]
Hamagawa Ugan Archaeological Site is considered as important because it could consist in ritual deposits not associated with residential occupation. Such sites are rare in Ryūkyūan archaeology for that period, the only other example being the contemporaneous site of Agigitara Shell Mound in Izena Village.[23][24]
Gusukus located in Chatan Town
[edit]Chatan Gusuku (北谷グスク)
[edit]Ichi Gusuku (池グスク)
[edit]Address: Chatan, Aza Yoshihara, Agariujibaru / Iriujibaru (loc. 26°18′38″N 127°45′49″E / 26.310556709426°N 127.76362464935°E)
Located just northwest of Chatan Gusuku, on a small hill on the other side of Shirahi-gawa River, Ichi Gusuku is considered an outpost of Chatan Gusuku. It was completely destroyed during the construction of Military Road 1 / Government Highway 1 (currently National Road 58) after the war.[25]: 24 Before the war, the road at this point crossed the hill through the 18 m long Chatan Tunnel that had been pierced in 1905. The tunnel was destroyed by the Japanese Forces during the war, probably causing damages to the gusuku. The eastern foot of the hill, suddenly cut, can still be seen along Shirahi-gawa River. [26] [27]
It was possible from the top of the hill to see as far as Cape Zanpa on the north and Cape Gusukuma on the south. The hill included several other sacred sites such as a Bijuru Shrine and Ukkā Aji (Ōkawa Aji)’s Tomb, that have been relocated. [28]
As Chatan Gusuku, Ichi Gusuku played a major part in the resistance to the Satsuma Invasion of 1609.[28][26]

The Guards House was created in the 15th century, and probably replaced Chatan Gusuku in its administrative office, since the castle seems unoccupied after this date. It yielded imported porcelain and brown glazed stoneware. It was included in the Kitatama Elementary School before WWII. An arched stone bridge mentioned in the “Stele of the Renovation of the Ichigusuku-bashi and Gusuku-bashi Bridge” was located nearby, but was destroyed just before WWII.[25]: 32

Chatan Chōrōyama has been partly destroyed by the heavy landscape modifications due to the construction of the military base. Chōrōyama was used as the cemetery for the priests of the Jushōin Temple and especially contained the tomb of Nan'yō Shōkō, nicknamed Chatan Chōrō, native of Tamēshi, who introduced Rinzai Myōshin-ji Buddhism to Ryūkyū.

It also yielded remains of the Early Kaizuka Period Stage II (pottery and human remains), Stage IV (pottery), Stage V (pottery and human remains), of the Gusuku Period (celadon and hakuji porcelain, short sword, glass beads and iron arrowheads) and of the Early Modern Period (used as a tomb).
The main occupation is the one of the Kaizuka Period Stage V, when it served as a tomb for several hundreds of individuals in a collective burial. Artefacts included a large quantity of pottery, shell bracelets, pendants and fragments of jade beads.
The artefacts of the Gusuku Period include several bowls and incense burner of celadon and hakuji porcelain of very good quality suggesting the cave had become a sacred site. [25]: 14–15
