Traveler highlights
Shuri Castle served as the capital and royal palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and from the 15th to 19th centuries it was also a political, economic, and cultural center. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. Set on a limestone plateau east of Naha, the castle is known for its gates, stone walls, and vermilion main hall, whose architecture reflects Ryukyuan, Chinese, and Japanese influences. Walking among the gates reveals the layout of the royal city and its history.
