I went to Nakijin Castle Ruins, one of the World Heritage Sites in Okinawa! In December 2000, it was registered as a World Heritage Site as part of the "Gusuku and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu". ☺️ It was the castle of the Hokuzan King before the unification of the Ryukyus, but it remains as a castle ruin. The stone walls are still there, and you can enjoy a view that is just like the Great Wall of China. ✨ In addition, the adjacent museum exhibits pottery and money excavated from this site. 📍Access 5101 Imadomari, Nakijin Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaTrip #Okinawa #777

Nakijin Castle Ruins, a World Heritage Site I was able to ask for a guide for free, so I was shown around😊 It seems that you can ask for a guide for free whenever the timing is right✨ It's good to learn more by listening to the explanations while going around✨ And it was free, but it took about an hour❣️ I was grateful😊 The magnificent stone walls and the great view gave me a lot of energy🎵 *Nakijin Castle Ruins 5101 Imadomari, Nakijin Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture 905-0428 #Breathtaking views #Remote island trip #Okinawa #World Heritage Site #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

#cherryblossom25 With its warm climate, Okinawa sees the earliest blooming cherry blossoms in all of Japan, as early as mid-January to mid-February. 🌸 Unlike in the rest of Japan, the most common variety of cherry tree in Okinawa is the hikanzakura, which has a dark pink colour and a distinctive bell shape, blooming in a downward direction. Some popular cherry blossom destinations in Okinawa include the Nakijin Castle site (the ruins of a 14th century Ryukyuan castle), the Motobu Yaedake Cherry Blossom Festival as well as the cherry blossom festivals in Naha and Nago. Did you know about Okinawa's cherry blossoms?

#cherryblossom25 The Nakijin Castle Ruins in Okinawa provide a historical and scenic hanami experience like no other. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features ancient stone walls overlooking the coastline, creating a breathtaking setting for cherry blossom viewing. In late January to early February, the vivid Kanhi-zakura trees bloom, adding a stunning contrast against the rugged castle remains and blue ocean views. The annual Nakijin Sakura Festival features illuminated cherry blossoms, cultural performances, and traditional Okinawan music. For those looking to experience sakura season earlier than in mainland Japan, Nakijin Castle offers an unforgettable mix of history, nature, and beauty.

The traces of history and the romance of spring intertwine to create a captivating scene at the ruins of Nakijin Castle. This ancient fortress from the Ryukyu Kingdom era is adorned with cherry blossoms every spring, adding a touch of softness to its solemn stone walls. As you stroll along the castle ruins, the cherry blossoms sway gently in the breeze, their vibrant pink hues contrasting beautifully with the ancient stone walls, as if time has stood still, immersing you in a springtime feast that spans centuries. Climbing the walls and gazing into the distance, the pink sea of flowers and the azure ocean create the most unique spring scenery in Okinawa. Visitors speak softly, afraid to disturb the tranquility of the moment. Standing under a blooming cherry tree, I feel the blend of history and spring, imagining whether the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom once admired the blossoms and gazed at the sea from this very spot. The afternoon sunlight filters through the cherry blossoms, casting a gentle glow on the ancient ruins. The breeze carries the faint scent of cherry blossoms, making the ruins not just a witness to history, but also the most enchanting canvas of spring. This encounter between the ancient castle and the cherry blossoms evokes deep emotions, and I look forward to visiting this beautiful blend of history and spring again next year.

Nakijin Castle Ruins is a breathtaking place to experience Okinawa’s cherry blossoms. As a history enthusiast, I was fascinated by the ancient stone walls, which contrast beautifully with the pink sakura in full bloom. The Nakijin Gusuku Cherry Blossom Festival added a magical touch, with lanterns illuminating the blossoms at night. The panoramic views from the top of the ruins make the climb worthwhile. It’s less crowded than other famous cherry blossom spots, so I could take my time enjoying the scenery. A must-visit if you're in Okinawa during the season!

Located in the northern part of Okinawa's main island, Nakijin Castle Ruins was the castle of the Hokuzan King before the Ryukyu Kingdom, and is a famous castle ruin that is registered as a World Heritage Site. It is also known as one of Okinawa's leading power spots. The stone walls that spread across the vast grounds draw beautiful curves like a undulating dragon, and you can feel the advanced castle construction technology of the time. From the castle ruins, you can see the East China Sea in its entirety, and on clear days, you can see as far as Izena Island and Iheya Island. Especially from January to February, the Kanhizakura (winter cherry blossoms) bloom in full bloom, and the contrast between the castle ruins and the pink is fantastic. It is worth visiting as a spot where you can enjoy Okinawa's history and nature at the same time! #0 yen trip February 2025
