Shuri Castle

From our hotel, we took a 5 min walk to the bus terminal where we took the Okinawa Sightseeing Bus that will fetch us to the Shuri Castle.

The Naha Sightseeing City Loop was a real life-saver for us. As we were travelling with our elderly mum, we wanted to minise the walking around. I found out that it was quite complicated to get to the castle by monorail as it involves some walking and transfering of bus. The city bus however, was able to bring us right to the entrance of the castle !

Here's the link to the website with info on the loop service. For only Y660 we enjoyed unlimited rides for the day.

And here's some highlights of our castle visit :


The castle is a world heritage site as well

We had a good lunch comprising traditional Okinawa food at the restaurant within the compounds.
