Shuri Castle (Shuri-jo)

Shuri Castle (Shuri-jo), located on a low hill surrounded by open curved stone walls, is a beautiful red castle that stands out from other places because it was influenced by China. There are dragon wood carvings on the gables and roofs. It is an Okinawan castle. When I went, it was closed for renovation, but now it should be open for visits as usual. The path from the entrance to the castle is quite far like other castles in Japan. I recommend that you go and take a look. On the way to the castle, there is a watercourse with interesting things to see. It's beautiful. #Shuri Castle #Japan
