Adaniga-daki is a place of worship in Tonokura-mura, commonly called Adaniganu-utaki. According to “Ryukyukoku Yuraiki (The Records of the Origin of the Ryukyu Kingdom),” it is one of the utaki where one of the second highest ranking priestesses, Shuri no Ooamushirare served; however, the name of the deity is not written. At this utaki, the arched gate functioned as an offering hall, and separates the grounds of the sanctuary together with the stone walls on the left and the right sides. Inside of the utaki, a stone wall is surrounded mainly with sacred rocks and trees. In the back of utaki, there is a cave. In front of the arched gate, a stone incense burner is placed. The outside of the utaki is paved with stones, with inscriptions on monuments on the left side and the right side.
