*''Japanese'': 宿道 ''(shuku michi)''
''Shuku michi'', or post roads, were major highways maintained by the royal court of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]], connecting the kingdom's capital at [[Shuri]] with the ''[[banju]]'' (regional offices) in [[Nakagami]], [[Kunigami]], and [[Shimajiri]] (the central, northern, and southern sections of [[Okinawa Island]], respectively).
The ''shuku michi'' leading from Shuri to the Nakagami ''banju'' at [[Urasoe]] began at the [[Matsuzaki riding grounds]] (''Matsuzaki baba''), and traveled past the natural spring Adani-gaa and its associated [[utaki|shrine]], [[Adani-ga-daki]], before joining up with the Jiibu ufumichi ("large road") and then continuing on to Urasoe.
