Nakijin Castle is a major tourist attraction in Nago and has been recognized as a National Historic Remains Site since 1972. It is believed that Nakijin Castle was built in the 13th century as a place of religious worship. On the 14 acres of castle grounds you can see several religious objects, such as prayer nooks, the fire-god shrine and the houses of the sacred maidens who presided over religious festivals. Recent excavations of pottery and utensils from the castle prove that there was tributary trade being conducted between Okinawa and China. |
