描述
Explore Nakagusuku Castle on a guided tour. Discover the history of the Ryukyu Kingdom, enjoy panoramic views, and learn about the castle’s architecture and spiritual significance.
Explore the majestic Nakagusuku Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a guided tour. Perched high on a ridge in central Okinawa, this 15th-century castle overlooks both the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea. Discover a culture shaped by spiritual belief and political leadership, with panoramic views and a glimpse into a distinctive way of life.
Learn about the castle’s history, closely tied to a local lord named Gosamaru, a nobleman loyal to the Ryukyuan monarchy in Shuri. Known for his integrity and military skill, Gosamaru built Nakagusuku as a defense against potential threats from other regions. Hear about his betrayal by another powerful lord, Amawari of Katsuren Castle—a dramatic episode that remains one of the most compelling tales in Ryukyuan history.
Your local guide will illuminate the castle’s layered past—its architectural ingenuity, political intrigue, and spiritual significance. As you stand atop the stone walls, gazing out across the seas that once connected Okinawa to China, Korea, and Southeast Asia, you’ll begin to understand why Nakagusuku was more than just a fortress. It was a symbol of Ryukyu’s openness to the world and its grounding in deeply held beliefs.
