Description
Unlock the history of Okinawa’s capital with Shurijo Castle Paid Area Admission Tickets. Once the hub of politics, diplomacy, and culture in the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shuri Castle stood as a symbol of the country that would later become Okinawa Prefecture of Japan.
From 1429 to 1879 the kingdom enjoyed flourishing trade with China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, which nurtured the unique culture of the Ryukyu Islands.
In October 2019, a devastating fire engulfed the main structures of the castle, including the iconic “Seiden” main hall. Now, embracing a theme of "reconstruction to show" Okinawa invites you to explore the ongoing restoration efforts and the fascinating state of reconstruction.
In a monumental achievement, the "Shuri Castle Ruins" earned its place as Japan's 11th World Heritage Site in December 2000.
Get your Shurijo Castle Park tickets now, and embark on a journey through history, culture, and the spirit of resilience and determination!
