it was raining in okinawa the day i took the trip (it wasn't raining during the bus ride so the staff was nice enough to keep the sunroof open) it was already raining when i got back to the bus and the staff had closed the sunroof beforehand keeping my stuff safe and dry inside!

Our Guide Maria was really great. She's fluent in English and taught us a lot about the local history and culture. She was funny and easy going. Even though the castle itself was under restoration after the fire, she showed us around every part that was open to the public and also explained in detail how the restoration process was going. Because of the rain she offered us to skip some walking and take a cab, but we opted to walk instead. She took care of us so we didn't walk into any spider webs and made sure we didn't slip on the wet rocky path. The lunch was amazing, it was a very nice restaurant that we would've never discovered without her. Overall an amazing tour with a lovely guide. 10/10 would recommend

The stalactites in Gyokusendo Cave at Okinawa World are spectacular, and the traditional Eisa drum performance is also very impressive. If you prefer not to visit the aquarium, you can choose to explore the shopping malls instead. The itinerary is quite flexible and can be adjusted to your preferences. Senaga Island offers beautiful scenery and is a great spot for photos. The seafood at Itoman Fish Market is fresh and delicious, making for a very satisfying meal. The Funpass app provides detailed guided explanations! I highly recommend Klook's Okinawa Southern One-Day Tour. The overall itinerary is rich and well-arranged, saving a lot of time on transportation and transfers, making the entire trip easy and enjoyable.

The trip was wonderful: everything was quick, you don't even notice the heat, everyone was very polite, and the guides were simply amazing (they showed us everything, told us stories, helped with masks and fins, and even brought up starfish from the seabed). We felt like we were in the movie "The Little Mermaid."

Coming from Hong Kong, it rained heavily the night before, and I was worried. I WhatsApped the owner, and he was very kind, telling us to come anyway and see what the weather was like when we arrived. We participated in the 90-minute session, and both my husband and my friend's husband said they had a great time and really enjoyed it, especially the part at Senaga Island. There were only two participants that day, but the instructor was excellent, attentive, polite, and took great care of the students. It's definitely worth doing when you visit Okinawa. Before we left, each of us received a commemorative photo. I initially thought I had left something behind and WhatsApped the owner, and he was very helpful and kind.

You need to buy tickets the day before. Exchanging tickets was easy. We arrived at 10 AM. No water or drinks are allowed inside. There are lockers available to store bags for 100 Japanese Yen per use, and you can get your coin back. If you don't have change, you can exchange money at the counter. The facility is divided into about seven major zones, each with a theme. It was a bit dark when we first entered, but the kids weren't afraid once they started playing. It's highly interactive with many ways to play. We happened to meet a Japanese staff member who spoke Chinese and gave us a very detailed introduction, so we got to enjoy many of the intricate details. The kids played inside for two hours.

What to know about Shurijo Castle

Located in Okinawa, Shurijo Castle is a castle complex rich in Ryukyu history. For over four centuries, this stunning castle was the hub of politics, diplomacy, and culture in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The architecture, a blend of Chinese and Japanese techniques, reflects a rich cultural tapestry that has been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you wander through the meticulously restored buildings of Shurijo Castle, you'll be transported back in time. Although these structures are relatively new, their roots run deep with historical significance. From the grand architecture to the captivating exhibits, there's a world of discovery within the castle walls of Shurijo Castle Park.

Must-Visit Attractions in Shurijo Castle, Okinawa

Shurei-mon Gate

Make sure to include a trip to the Shureimon Gate, constructed in the early 16th century by King Sho Sei. This stone gate was historically used for ceremonial entrances to the castle, and walking beneath its majestic seven-meter-high red-tiled roof evokes a sense of royal grandeur. Despite facing destruction multiple times over the years, the ceremonial gate was most recently reconstructed in 1958.

Seiden (Main Hall)

The Seiden, currently under reconstruction, was the most lavishly decorated building and a landmark of Okinawa. It served as the venue for major state affairs and ceremonies.

Kankaimon Gate

Built around 1477--1500, Kankaimon Gate is the first main gate to the castle grounds. It was restored in 1974 after being destroyed during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945.

Una Plaza

Facing the Seiden, Una Plaza was where ceremonies took place. Surrounding the plaza were the Hokuden (North Hall - destroyed), Nanden (South Hall - destroyed), and the Hoshinmon (Hoshin Gate - survived). The Hokuden and Nanden were administrative buildings used to welcome guests from China and mainland Japan.

Tips for Your Shurijo Castle Visit

When is the best time to visit Shurijo Castle?
