What other travelers are saying about Nakijin Castle Ruins
Our first tour in Okinawa. Our tour guide was amazing and well worth the cost. The castle grounds are beautiful and the walls are amazing. Don’t forget to go to the museum, too.
Thank you to the staff. Very knowledgeable, professional and personable. Go early and avoid the crowds. When we arrived at there at 0900 and shared the castle with approx 10 people.
Impressive to consider the age of the ruins and the substantial effort that went into building the castle. Limited history in English, though, which detracted a bit. The big positive in the winter (late January to match) is the cherry blossoms. They're different than up in mainland Japan, but beautiful.
Great place to visit and great beautiful photos. Be prepared for a ridiculous crowd and traffic jam if you go during their Cherry Blossom festival though.
The cost is ¥600 yen per adult, a little less for high school kids, and elementary kids are free.
Worth visiting if you are close by. A lot of the walls are still intact. All the signs have English too so you can read about the history of the castle. Parking is available. Ticket will cost you 600yen. There is food on site.
Recently living alone in okinawa and visiting all the ruins on the island. Trying to visit a new ruin or castle every weekend.
Lucky enough to visit during the cherry blossum festival they had alot of food trucks at the tike and parking was decent, they had shuttles during the event. I will visit again when its warmer to see the greenery.
Very windu at the time, bring a comfy jacket
