Nakijin castle ruins

#getgoing2025 The ruins of Nakijin Castle began to be built at the end of the 13th century and was established as a residence of the Kitasano Line from the first half of the 14th century to the early 15th century. It is indispensable for telling the history of Okinawa in an area that is almost the same as Shuri Castle, such as a castle wall with a total length of 1500 metres, an outer wall with a height of 2 metres, a Heiromon gate restored in the Ryukyu period, and an old road that curled to the right. There is also a historical and cultural centre that displays excavated ceramics. A gold-packed sword that has become a national treasure is on display. Because it is located in a hill at an altitude of 100 metres, you will enjoy the magnificent performance of the emerald green sea and the castle walls.

Nakijin Castle Ruins

Ruin of Nakijin Castle, a former Ryukyu Castle on Okinawa, Japan. What's left of the castle ruins are stone walls of the castle, and leaves the visitor to his/her imagination of what the castle would have looked like in its hey days. An artist impression based on historical records would have given visitors a better perspective of the castle. But this was my favorite castle ruins because it has a great ang magnificient view of the ocean and a variety of flowers and butterflies around. Moving around the castle can be challeging for the older folks as there are steps to climb and the journey was a pretty long walk from the entrance. #givethanks #givethanks
