Nakijin Castle Ruins

Nakijin Castle is one of the largest castles (gusuku) in Okinawa Prefecture, boasting an area the same size as the Shuri Castle. Its beautifully curved 1.5km long walls cleverly utilise the terrain. One of the 100 best castles in Japan, it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
