[2025 Naha Attraction] Travel Guide for Tamaudun (Updated Apr)

#June2024 #Japan #Okinawa #Shuri Castle Tamaudun Mausoleum near Shuri Castle Shuri-no-Mori-kan is one of several World Cultural Heritage sites in Okinawa, but it is visited by significantly fewer people than Shuri Castle. The entrance fee here is about 300 yen. Transportation: 10-15 minutes walk from Naha Monorail "Shuri" or "Giho" station. Filming date: 2024/early June.

At first glance, it looks like a ruin in the jungle of Southeast Asia, or a fort built by Europeans in the Age of Discovery in the Caribbean, or a coastal ruin such as an ancient Chinese mausoleum, but it is actually a ruin in Okinawa, Japan. Tamaudun is pronounced "tamaudoun". It was built in 1501 by King Sho Shin to rebury the remains of his father, King Sho En. The stonework is as precise and precise as the stone walls of Cusco, Peru, and the high level of craftsmanship is astonishing. It is surrounded by lush banyan trees like those in Southeast Asia, making it a World Heritage site with a full exotic atmosphere. To access, walk 15 minutes from Shuri Station on the Yui Rail along the edge of Shuri Castle Park. Halfway through, you will be walking along the castle walls of Shuri Castle, overlooking the city of Shuri and enjoying the tropical scenery.

#tripmemory2022 #OkinawaTrip #HistoricalSites #TravelToHistoryAndCulture #WorldHeritage #OkinawaTourism Tamaudun is a mausoleum built by King Sho Shin to renovate the remains of his father, King Sho En. In 2018, it became Okinawa's first building to be designated as a national treasure. I was overwhelmed by the huge stone structure built on the ground covered with white sand. I recommend that you visit the underground reference room first before going to the mausoleum. The admission fee is 300 yen.

We walked there from Shuri Castle. It was a grave that really evoked history. I hope it will continue to be carefully preserved as a World Heritage Site! #HistoricSites
