Nakijin-Jo

We went to the Ruins of Nakijin-jo. What is Nakijin-jo? Nakijin castle is a world heritage site which is placed in the north area. Its history started in the 13th century. It was built before Ryukyu kingdom appeared. Now there is no castle but we can see the beautiful scenery. We can also learn history and look at a lot of heritage in this place. Many Japanese and foreign tourists visit here. If you like magnificent scenery, we recommend this place to you. So, let's start our introduction.
