Shuri Castle
The Shuri Castle ruins date from the Ryukyu Kingdom era. This castle was located on a hill overlooking Naha Port, which was once a hub for overseas trade. The castle was destroyed by fire during World War II and rebuilt in 1992. But the main hall and other parts were destroyed by fire in 2019 again. In 2000, it was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site as “Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu”.
