What other travelers are saying about Nakagusuku Castle Ruins
All the ruins in the main islands are worth visiting. I visited 3 I think or 4?
You definitely have to visit them all if you have the time. Be sure to walk to all the places allowed. Nice walk overall. The coffee stand just outside is marvelous. Please try.
Okinawa is such a nice place with nice food and nice hospitality natives.. I love the place so much. I will definitely come back.
If I had to recommend one castle site to visit during a trip to Okinawa, it would be this one, hands-down.
It’s an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it’s easy to see why. This is a sprawling complex built in the 1400’s, with panoramic views of the waters surrounding the island.
I found myself thinking what it must have been like back then to reside in the castle and be able to take in such unadulterated views (as they would’ve been back then).
The construction of this place is astounding, especially some of the walls that were built on cliff edges. It’s hard to imagine anything made today that would last the way this castle and others have. A testament to the engineering of the day!
Give this one a try. For 400 yen, it’s well-worth the admission price!
Came here for the first time with my family and it's just an amazing view from top of the castle! The whole experience was great starting with a cart ride that takes you to the top. You get a sense of how royalty used to live. Totally recommend it here if ever visiting Okinawa!
So far this is my favorite castle ruins we have visited in Okinawa. Some of the other castle might have a little better views of the ocean and city but they overall design of this one is what I favor. A great place to spend a couple hours and learn a little more history of Okinawa.
Is just another historical site that need to visit...
Alot of History around all the walls ...
The amazing thing is how they build all the walls in the past...
Is a big area that u can walk around n look at the beautiful views around it.....
Worth visiting
