*''Japanese/Okinawan'': 安谷川嶽 ''(Adani gaa daki)''

Adani-gaa-daki is an Okinawan ''[[utaki]]'', or sacred place, associated with [[Oamushirare|Ôamushirare]]<!--大阿母志良礼・うふ あむしられ-->, a high-ranking high priestess of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]].

The site is located on a small residential street in the Tônokura neighborhood of [[Shuri]]. It features a stone gate separating the inner space from the outer space; within the inner space are located sacred stones, a stone circle, and the entrance to a small cave.

Two stelae flank the entrance to the outer section of the space, where it is separated from the road. One stele, erected in [[1814]], attests that the residents of Tônokura contributed to form a fund to maintain the site, while the other was erected after World War II, when the site was restored. The site was named a Tangible Folk Cultural Asset by the city of [[Naha]] in 1977.
