What other travelers are saying about Nakijin Castle Ruins
600¥ for a nice walk through the ruins. There are a few signs with information here and there but mostly you just look at the scenery. Being here while the cherry blossoms are in bloom was definitely a highlight! Multiple parking lots in the area and shops with food and souvenirs next to the ticket counter (definitely check out the ceramics store!!).
Good spot to go to during cherry blossom season. Not advisable to bring strollers if you have a little one due to uneven pavement. The site is beautiful, you can see the ocean from above too.
I only visited the castle remains since it was boiling.
The site itself doesn’t provide much to see. Most of the site are just remains, you can only some stones lining the ground. What you see in the photos are what you’ll see on site.
The castle remain itself isn’t as big either and for 600¥ per adult I think it’s too much. Although I think there’s a museum that you can visit with the ticket too.
There are some souvenir shops near the ticket sales as well. Parking is adequate as well.
World Heritage site of ancient Ryukyu Kingdom. It's one of the most preserved castle on the island. The view from the top is unmatched. There's also a little museum near by for additional history and background information. Gift shops and cafes also available here.
