Shuri Castle 首里城

The throne hall reopens on 23 November 2026: until then, what you visit is the building site.

Residence of the kings of the Ryukyu (an independent kingdom, not a Japanese province, until the annexation of 1879) for four centuries, and the political heart of that kingdom; destroyed in the Battle of Okinawa in 1945 and rebuilt in 1992. The site inscribed by UNESCO in December 2000 is the 首里城跡, that is, the ground and the foundations, which the 2019 fire did not touch: the World Heritage Site never ceased to exist. The free areas include the gate 奉神門, the 淑順門, the viewpoint 東のアザナ and the rear courtyard 後之御庭.
