The castle is said to have been built in the 14th century by Agena Aji. The stone wall that you'll find on the site was built in the 15th century. The castle was a natural strategic position that fell well besieged by the army of the Chuzan Kingdom.

It also used to draw crowds of excited spectators as the host of the All-Okinawa Bull-fighting Competition sponsored by the Okinawa Prefectural Bull-fighting Union. There's an intensity that comes with outdoor stadiums that you can't get anywhere else.

Okinawa Areas

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
