Yoron Castle Ruins

"Located about a 15-minute drive from Yoron Airport, this is the site of Yoron Castle, which is said to have been built by Oshan, third son of the king of Hokuzan in Ryukyu kingdam (Okinawa now). The castle was built between 1405 and 1416, and was unfinished due to the fall of the king of Hokuzan during the period, so only the stone wall remains. Inside the castle, there is Tokonushi Shrine, Kotohira Shrine, and a memorial to the Manchurian pioneers. The ""Yoron Jugoya Odori,"" held three times a year on the premises, is a prayer for rain to the dragon god, for bountiful harvests, peace on the island, and prosperity for the people and animals. It's registered as Nationally Designated Important Intangible Folk Cultural Properties."
