World HeritageNakijin Castle Ruins

The Nakijin Castle Ruins are the historical remnants of a gusuku
(Okinawan fortress) in the Motobu Peninsula, a peninsula located in
the northern part of Okinawa Island.

It is believed that the history of Nakijin Castle Ruins is extensive, dating back to the 13th century. Surrounded by robust ramparts, the castle is located at an altitude of approximately 100 meters, and had served as a pivotal fortress to protect the Yanbaru (mountainous areas of Kunigami District in northern Okinawa).

Ever since the invasion by Chuzan (principality of the central region) forces during the Hananchi era, a Kanshu (administrator) had been stationed. After the last Kanshu withdrew in 1665, the site remained as a place for ceremonial festivals.

Fukugi trees in Bise

Fugu planted around the house as a windbreak forest form a one-kilometer long avenue to Bisezaki.

The sunlight and the rustling of the leaves of the owl make me feel the calmness of the old Okinawan village and the slow flow of time.

There are also sightseeing cars, and the nostalgic scenery and the Ryukyu-like scenery are soothing to many visitors.
