An ancient Shingon-Buddhist temple to the west of Tawarayama Onsen.
Nouman-ji Temple was erected in 806 by the reknowned Japanese Buddhist monk Kukai, who had recently returned from a scholarly expedition to China.
Visitors to the temple today will be met with the bright scarlet of the temple gate, main hall, and small surrounding shrines at the crest of the temple's stone steps.

The ceiling of the temple's main hall is graced with ink paintings of flowers and islands by the master ink wash 雪舟 painter Sesshu, and within the small shrines dotting the temple grounds, wooden statues of the bodhisattva Kannon.
On the hill behind the temple grows a great tree (the "Shii-no-ki"), and at the crest of the hill, the temple's inner sanctum, which comprises part of a great pilgrimage path for followers of Shingon Buddhism.
Nouman-ji Temple is especially beautiful in autumn, partly for the two great gingko trees which grow on either side of its main gate.

uishi no tera ウイシの寺， uisu no tera ウイスの寺
During the construction of the Chokotei causeway, the sea was too deep to build anything.
People prayed two nights and two days to 天照大神 Amaterasu Omikami.
The water receeded and they could built a bridge between 安里町 Asato town and 若狭町 Wakasa town.
They also build a Shrine at each town, calling it
uishi no tera ウイシの寺， uisu no tera ウイスの寺.
This is probably the local dialect for O-Ise no Tera オイセ （お伊勢）の寺 "Temple from Ise".

- quote -
長虹堤 Chokoutei Causeway

Chokoutei is one kilometer inter-island causeway connecting Naha and Asato, built in 1451.
Naha used to be an island and there was no bridge to connect the island to shore. Therefore when the Chinese envoys came to Okinawa, ships were lined up to between Naha and Asato to used them like a bridge.
King Sho Kinpuku ordered State Minister Kaiki to build a road connecting Naha and Asato. As water was deep and waves were high on this area, Kaiki thought the construction must be protected by the god. He erected an alter and prayed for a long time.
Eventually, water became low and the seabed appeared which let construction start. The road consists of seven bridges constructed from Sogen-ji Bridge to Ibegama (prayers' site surrounded by a stone wall in Kumoji).
When Kosei, a member of the Chinese investiture delegate, came to Okinawa in 1633, he noted this road in his poem that " "looks like a long rainbow from a distance".
Later this causeway started to be called Chokotei.
Chokotei causeway was the primary road linking Shuri and Naha from 1451 till Meiji era.
However traffic volume was dropped as train service started between Shuri and Naha in 1914 and a new Prefectural Road (current Kokusai-dori street) was opened to traffic.
Much of the Chokotei was lost in the Battle of Okinawa and to later development but parts of the causeway still remain.
