About 200,000 names on the head stones. Soldiers from both sides and about 100,000 civilians. Casualties of war. This should be the second site to visit after the Former Navy Underground HQ. It is situated near cliffs overlooking the ocean. Lets you reflect the cruelty of mankind and what war brings.

The Former Japanese Navy Underground Headquaters is located where Rear Admiral Ota and his men desperately fought to the end on 13 June,1945. You can view the commanding officer's room and the operations room as it was during the battle.Also the tunnnels,which were comstracted utilizing hoes and picks,still exist in their original condition.

Nakagusuku Castle is visible evidence of the Ryukyu kingdom and is a perfect reflection of that period of time in Okinawa’s history.The natural rocks and the land surrounding the castle are in perfect harmony with the curving walls, this amazing feat allows us to appreciate the masonry skills of this ancient time.

610 yen from Naha near Tomari Port (roughly 40 minutes) to King Tacos Futenma branch then 10 minutes / 1050 yen by taxi to Nakagusuku Castle (Didi app works to call taxis). Now there's a free golf cart to take you up from the ticket office so you don't need to climb uphill so much. Good way to spend an hour with impressive views of the ocean and the city all around - much nicer & bigger than I'd imagined. 10 min walk to Nakamura Residence (closed Tuesday). A bit of a challenge to get a taxi on the way back so we walked half an hour downhill to a busier area to get one from in front of ナカタライト株式会社. From there it's a 1470 yen / 15-minute ride to American Village.

I planned to visit Nakijin Castle, but intentionally, I did not do much research prior to. When I got to the site, it was mid-February, and most of the cherry blossom were done, but still had some left, so that was still very pretty. The stone works were beautiful, and the view from the site was very beautiful. Although this site does not have a castle itself to look at, it was definitely worth checking it out. If you plan to visit Churami Aquarium or Nago/Kouri area, I'd definitely recommend to make a stop here!
