Urasoe-joseki Castle Ruins

Okinawa Prefecture

Okinawa Prefecture
Naha , Japan

Built in the 13th century, this became a large gusuku in the 14th century surrounded by stone masonry castle walls with a seiden (main hall) covered by Goryeo (Koryo) style tile-roofing at the center. There are also temples and communities around it, and the prototype of Shuri, which later became the royal capital, was completed here.
