Sefa Utaki is a sacred grove located in the Kudeken area of Chinen Village. Pushing your way through the initial part of the path to the Utaki brings you to a spot where the path goes off to the left and intersects with the way to the first place of prayer, called "Uro-ka." Heading left leads to the Utaki entrance, the gate called "Ujouguchi." At one time common folk, especially males, were not permitted past this gate. It is said that originally the entrance passing to the Utaki was through the first place of prayer, the Uro-ka mentioned above.

Farther in front of the gate, along the cobblestone path, there is an area called "Ufugui." The stone-enclosed courtyard is called "Una" and the place to offer prayer is in the rock shadows. This open area was the location where the kingdom's high priestess, the Kikoe Okimi, offered her first prayers in a ceremony called "Oaraori." This same name, Ufugui, is used for a place on the second floor of the main Seiden Hall in Shuri Castle, where the functions of the royal court were performed. On the day of the ceremony a small temporary booth is set up on the square stone floor. On the raised portion of the rock shadows, the high priestess, pillow in hand, retires with the gods for a short while.

Deeper back into the Ufugui, the road splits to the left and right. Farther on to the left is Yuinchi, one more place of prayer. Yuinchi in this case means kitchen and, like Ufugui, this location is repeated in a corner of the Seiden Hall at Shuri Castle, an area referred to by the same name where the royal family's daily food was prepared. However, it has not been confirmed if the Yuinchi functioned as a real kitchen as is conveyed in folklore. Across the cobblestone path that passes through the stone enclosure is a large looming rock, and in the recesses of the place of prayer stalactites hang down off the rock.

From Yuinchi, returning back along the path to the first split and taking the other path you will find two stalactites. The one in the immediate front is called "Amadayuru Ashikanubi" and the one on the other side is called "Shikiyodayuru Amaganubi." These names refer to the sacred water that falls from heaven. Below the stalactites is a vessel to collect the water. This water was utilized in a ceremony named "Unbinadi" by the Kikoe Okimi supreme priestess. It is said the amount of water that collects in the jar next to the stone indicates the prospects, rich or poor, for this year's harvest.

To the side of the two stalactites is a place to rest. Further from the platform is a large stone entrance that guides us on. Passing through this stone gate that is in the shape of an inverted 'V' leads to the Sangui, a place to offer prayers. This is a mere three-square meter space. On the right-hand side is the Chounohana, where prayers are sent to heaven through the stone wall. On the left-hand side is a place to view and send prayers out to Kudaka Island.
