🎧  Listen to Introduction

This group of sites and monuments represents five hundred years of Ryukyu history (12th-17th centuries). The ruins of the castles, located on the site of the towering tower, are evidence of the social structure of much of that period, while the sacred sites are silent testimony to the rare survival of an ancient religious form in modern times. During that period, the extensive economic and cultural exchanges of the Ryukyu Islands gave rise to a unique culture.
