Shuri's got all the hype, but we're reconstructing #Enkakuji as well. Just…slowly.

Rough translation: They started the reconstruction of the Sanmon gate of Enkakuji Temple (next to Shuri castle) yesterday. This has been planned since 2014 and at last this year they started to build the first level. They plan to build a bit of it every year and finish it in 2027 (and open it to the public in 2028).
