Shurijo Castle

"Situated atop a picturesque hill in Okinawa, Shuri Castle Park stands as an enchanting testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Renowned for its vibrant vermillion architecture and intricate designs, this historic site is a treasure trove of Ryukyuan history and tradition. As visitors stroll through the park's meticulously landscaped gardens and ornate gates adorned with traditional motifs, they are transported back in time to an era of royalty and cultural opulence. The reconstructed Shuri Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, serves as the park's centerpiece, exuding elegance and charm with its vibrant colors and historic significance. Offering panoramic views of Naha City, Shuri Castle Park is not only a cultural haven but also a place of serenity and reflection, inviting exploration into the fascinating legacy of the Ryukyu Kingdom."

"Absolutely beautiful scenery. Although beware the paid section is mainly under construction so you won’t get to see the castle itself unfortunately due to a fire. However, there is an absolutely beautiful view, and the park has really fun activities like stamping post cards! "

"We visited the Shuri Castle in 2019. It burned down shortly after that. But I believe they are working to rebuild it. Definitely something to look into if it gets completed. "
