HISTORIC - UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE

Zakimi Castle, or Zakimijoshi is the ruin of a castle built during the Ryukyu Kingdom (if I'm not wrong).

Plenty of parking and easy access.

Beautifully Restored Okinawan Castle

Zakimi provides a beautifully-restored Okinawan coral castle, along with greenery and park space to enjoy. It is one of the nicer historic castles to visit in the middle part of the Okinawan island. Easy access and plentiful parking also help!

Beautiful castle

Zakimi castle is a little far away from downtown Naha, but it is worth the drive. The views from the castle are very nice and you can take some great pictures of this castle.
