The stone gate of Kami Tenpi Shrine survives today, attached to the Tenpi Elementary School built on the former site of the shrine. The construction style of the gate indicates a transition at that time (in the early 15th century) from the ''aikata-zumi'' style of stone construction to the ''nuno-zumi'' style.

The shrine was the center of elite education in the kingdom until the establishment in [[1718]] of the Meirindô at the [[Shiseibyo|Shiseibyô]].<ref>Gallery labels, "Kuninda - Ryûkyû to Chûgoku no kakehashi," special exhibit, Okinawa Prefectural Museum, Sept 2014.</ref>
