Traveler highlights

Nakagusuku Castle Ruins are a hilltop fortress from the Ryukyu Kingdom era, built around the latter half of the 14th century on limestone hills about 160 meters above sea level. The site became part of a World Heritage listing in 2000. Six enclosures and stone walls follow the natural rock and terrain in graceful curves. From higher points, visitors can look across Nakagusuku Bay, the Pacific, and the East China Sea.
