Traveler highlights
Shureimon Gate is a prominent gate in the outer precinct of Shuri Castle. Originally called Uīnu Ayijō, it became known by the plaque above it reading “Shurei no Kuni,” or “Land of Propriety.” The red-tiled, three-bay, four-pillar gate has a double-eaved roof and blends Chinese paifang design with Ryukyuan castle architecture. During the Ryukyu Kingdom, kings welcomed Chinese investiture envoys here. Destroyed in 1945, it was rebuilt in 1958 and now marks a key entrance on the Shuri Castle route.
