Shurijo Castle

Shuri castle is a red castle located at Naha, Okinawa, Japan. If you are in Naha for a day, this is your must visit place. Very easy to get to on the Monorail. Get off at the Shuri Station and then it is a short 0.5 mile walk. The grounds and palace are nice. You take a self-guided tour by following signs. Limited information is provided but it is enough. There is a good amount of stairs involved to see everything. You can also walk the ramparts. At the main gate, you can dress up in traditional costumes for a fee and get your photo taken. After you are done, take the short walk to the family mausoleum. It is a separate smaller fee and takes about 15 minutes to see. The castle is worth to visit. It is also a nice experience to walk around during night that castle a surrounding areas a nicely lighted. From the surrounding area there is a nice view of the city. #givethanks #givethanks
