Zakimi Castle Ruins
708-6 Aza Zakimi, Yomitan Village
|
The ruins of Zakimi are all that remain of the castle originally built by Gosamaru about 570 years ago. After completing it, Gosamaru went on to construct Nakagusuku Castle. During World War II this historic site was used by the Japanese Army as a missile base before it was destroyed in battle. In 1972 the Japanese government formally recognized it as a National Treasure. |
