What I am talking about is Shuri-jo castle that served as a royal residence for kings of Ryukyu Kingdom until 1879. Sitting atop a hill, just few kilometers from central Naha, it is World Heritage Site that represents a unique combination of Chinese and Japanese architectural influences.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14222\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14222 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135113\/IMG_9829-500x334.jpg\" alt=\"Shuri castle in Okinawa prefecture\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135113\/IMG_9829-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135113\/IMG_9829.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14220\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14220 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135142\/IMG_9824-500x334.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful Red residence, Shuri castle\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135142\/IMG_9824-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135142\/IMG_9824.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Undeniably, it is one of those places where people can experience ancient Okinawan culture that Okinawan inhabitants are very proud of. In the past, the Shuri-jo was playing a significant role in contacts with China and lords from Kyushu region in Japan. In its opulent throne room, Chinese and Kyushu envoys were enjoying elaborate imperial ceremonies, delicious Okinawan food and beautiful court dance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14218\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14218 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135208\/IMG_9818-500x334.jpg\" alt=\"Another roof of Shuri castle\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135208\/IMG_9818-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135208\/IMG_9818.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, very little of the original remains.

It is a great spot for group photos and at the same time a starting point that will lead you to a more impressive inner gate Kankai-mon. It is a monumental guard defense tower made out of limestone constantly baked in the pouring sun. After going through few more inner gates you finally will approach a ticket office before reaching the main courtyard.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14216\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14216 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135238\/IMG_9811-500x334.jpg\" alt=\" impressive inner gate Kankai-mon, Shuri Castle\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135238\/IMG_9811-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135238\/IMG_9811.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14215\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14215 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135253\/IMG_9810-500x334.jpg\" alt=\" impressive inner gate Kankai-mon, Shuri Castle\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135253\/IMG_9810-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135253\/IMG_9810.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14214\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14214 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135307\/IMG_9809-500x334.jpg\" alt=\" impressive inner gate Kankai-mon, Shuri Castle\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135307\/IMG_9809-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135307\/IMG_9809.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14217\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14217 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135224\/IMG_9816-500x334.jpg\" alt=\" impressive inner gate Kankai-mon, Shuri Castle\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135224\/IMG_9816-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135224\/IMG_9816.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The main pride of place goes to a beautiful structure Seidan. It is a double-roofed palace with enormous and full of colors porch and two throne halls. The upper throne room is stunningly elaborate and a masterpiece in design details with its gilded dragons structures. The colors of intense, vivid red combined with black lacquer can make you feel &#8220;dizzy&#8221; and astonished. In the past, it was a place where king would review his troops or watch interesting ceremonies in the courtyard below. But was was the most compelling thing above all, it was a room that had to thrill the foreign delegates coming to deal with Ryukyu Kingdom. And, certainly it did impress the foreign ambassadors. Other buildings exhibit remains of the past dynasty and a brief history of\u00a0 reconstruction work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14224\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14224 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135059\/IMG_9828-500x334.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful roof architecture, Shuri castle\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135059\/IMG_9828-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135059\/IMG_9828.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14225\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14225 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135045\/IMG_9831-500x334.jpg\" alt=\"Shuri castle also has a beautiful garden.\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135045\/IMG_9831-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135045\/IMG_9831.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14226\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14226 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135030\/IMG_9833-500x334.jpg\" alt=\"A King chair\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135030\/IMG_9833-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135030\/IMG_9833.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14227\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14227 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135015\/IMG_9842-500x334.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Shuri castle\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135015\/IMG_9842-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06135015\/IMG_9842.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14232\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14232 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06134903\/IMG_9838-500x334.jpg\" alt=\"A beautiful painting is displayed.\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06134903\/IMG_9838-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06134903\/IMG_9838.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14231\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14231 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06134918\/IMG_9832-500x367.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Shuri castle\" width=\"500\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06134918\/IMG_9832-500x367.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06134918\/IMG_9832.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/?attachment_id=14230\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14230 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06134931\/IMG_9840-500x324.jpg\" alt=\"inside Shuri castle\" width=\"500\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06134931\/IMG_9840-500x324.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/06134931\/IMG_9840.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Another things to see after Shuri Castle<\/h2>\n<p>Once you finish doing sightseeing within the castle you might enter a tranquil park featuring a stone-walled pond and remnants of the most beautiful temple in the Ryukyu Kingdom: Enkaku-ji.
