It is featured in small print in tourist books, but there are relatively few tourists, so you can take your time looking around. There are slopes and stairs from the parking lot, so it may be difficult for those with weak legs. It is a castle ruin that can be visited for free, but it is quite worth seeing, so I recommend it. ♯trip2023 #wintertrip #greatview #autumntrip

Uruma City is located in the central part of Okinawa Island. On the Katsuren Peninsula, there are the ruins of Katsuren Castle, which was once the residence of Amawari. In the history books of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Amawari has long been spoken of as a rebel. On the other hand, among the people of Katsuren, where Amawari's residence was, he has been passed down as a hero. Amawari has two faces. In recent years, the perception of Amawari has been changing. One of the factors that has caused this is the modern Kumiodori "Kitaka no Amawari." It is a modern version of Kumiodori, a dance performed by middle and high school students in Uruma City.

Uruma City is located in the central part of Okinawa's main island. Last year, Uruma City was declared a Special Zone for Emotional Industries, and is home to the World Heritage site of Katsuren Castle. Around the time Sho Hashi unified the three kingdoms and founded the Ryukyu Kingdom. There was an anji at the site of Katsuren Castle. His name was Amawari. As an anji of Katsuren, Amawari prospered the Katsuren area through trade. Fearing that his power would become too strong, the Ryukyu king married his daughter, Momoju Fumiage, to Amawari. However, Amawari eventually became a rebel, and was attacked by Gosamaru and lost his life. For a long time, Amawari was treated as a rebel and demonized. Locally, Amawari was known as a hero. Before you knew it, there were two Amawaris. Then, a project got underway. A modern Kumiodori performance by junior and senior high school students. The modern Kumiodori "Kitaka no Amawari" that continues to this day was born, leading to a miraculous stage that has continued for more than 20 years since its premiere.

#0 Yen Trip November 1 hour on the highway from Naha Airport. Katsuren Castle Ruins is a castle that takes advantage of the difference in elevation. It was built with various ingenious ideas to prevent enemy invasions. It is well maintained and you can enjoy the open view, but it is difficult for people with bad legs. The view from the top is amazing! There is also a museum, where you can learn more about the history of the castle.

#0yentravelautumn I went to Okinawa For now, I rented a car, which is a must-have item for Okinawa travel, and went from Manzamo to Katsuren Castle, etc. After that, I went to the underwater road, the glass village in the south, etc. I enjoyed a restaurant selling Okinawan folk songs, and went to eat local cuisine such as goat. I was surprised to see that Makishi Public Market had been cleaned up I also happened to come across a JAL aircraft with a special livery I went to many other places It's still a comfortable season for short sleeves, so I recommend Okinawa this season or spring, not mid-summer.

Uruma City Katsuren Castle Ruins - Beautiful ocean view

Summer has come early to Okinawa. Shuri Castle is not yet completed. And Katsuren has been swept away by the waves of the times. I was deeply moved by Kimutaka's taste.

#okinawatrip Beautiful castle ruins, and amazing views overlooking the ocean and city. The museum show was great addition after visiting the castle. Great way to spend a couple of hours. Inexpensive ticket for entry and plenty of parking. The museum at the beginning is very cool and contains loads of interactive information. The walk up to the ruins is beautiful and seeing everything up close was amazing. The view at the top is gorgeous, if you're in the area I highly recommend stopping by.
