Nakagusuku Castle Ruins
Okinawa, Japan
Nakagusuku Castle Ruins in Okinawa, Japan, were built in the early 15th century by the Ryukyuan commander Gosamaru to defend against eastern attacks. The castle features six enclosures with stone walls constructed using different masonry techniques, harmoniously blending with the natural landscape.
It sits on a limestone plateau with steep cliffs and offers panoramic views of the surrounding sea and lands. The castle has been well preserved due to minimal war damage and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan’s 100 famous castles.
Its design showcases the cultural and strategic significance of the Ryukyu Kingdom, serving both as a fortress and noble residence through its history.
