AFTER this morning’s exciting and warm welcome at Naha Airport, Apple Vacations day begins in the Hawaii of the East! In keeping with the spirit of ONDO with a welcome as such, Apple’s visit to Shurijo Castle was blessed with good cool weather. Making exploring exploring the castle grounds pleasant.

In December 2000, nine sites – including Shuri Castle Ruins and Nakagusuku Castle Ruins – were registered as world heritage sites and were named “Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu.” It is said that there are nearly 300 gusukus (castles) in the Ryukyu Islands, many of which were constructed on slopes with scenic views. The gusukus that were registered as world heritage sites are believed to have been the residential castles of regional rulers who played an active role during the process of establishment of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
