Imagine Castle Ruins

#Okinawa Sakura


Nakijin Castle Ruins is the only cherry blossom viewing spot in Okinawa that is listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site. It was originally a fortress castle from the Ryukyu era and has preserved intact limestone walls and a vast ruins area. The Nakijin Castle Cherry Blossom Festival is held from late January to mid-February every year. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, a pink trail winds along the city wall, interweaving with the ancient stone walls to create a strong sense of historical beauty.

The most charming thing about this place is the night cherry blossom event. When the lights shine between the cherry blossoms and the stone walls, it seems as if you are in a romantic dream that travels through time and space. In addition to cherry blossom viewing, the observation point within the castle ruins also offers a panoramic view of the sea, providing a multi-faceted enjoyment that combines nature, history, and culture.

As the terrain is open, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and walk slowly. Nakijin Castle is quieter and more elegant than other attractions. It is suitable for in-depth tourists, photographers and history lovers to explore in depth. It is one of the most unique cherry blossom viewing spots in Okinawa.
