Traveler highlights
Urasoe Castle Ruins are the remains of an early Ryukyuan castle on a coral-reef cliff about 400 meters long. Historical records date its construction to around the 12th century, and it served as the capital under the Shunten, Eiso, and Satto dynasties. The castle was burned during the Satsuma invasion in 1609 and became a wartime stronghold in 1945. Visitors can see the ruins and stone walls; excavated artifacts include a Yuan-dynasty seal and Chinese-style roof tiles. Nearby are Urasoe Castle Park and a history museum.
