Traveler highlights
Zakimi Castle Ruins in Yomitan were built around 1416–1422 by the Ryukyuan commander Gosamaru to guard a key route from central to northern Okinawa. The arched gate uses wedge-shaped stones, while the curving walls and restored sections show Ryukyuan masonry techniques. The site became part of a World Heritage listing in 2000. From the hilltop, visitors can see Cape Zanpa and, on clear days, the Kerama Islands.
