Nanjo City Photo Spot Tamagusuku Castle Ruins

Introduction

The Tamako Castle ruins in Tamako City, Namba, are said to have been built by Amami-kyo, the god who opened the Ryukyu Kingdom. It is located on a high plateau overlooking Kujokishima and the southern part of Okinawa Island. The castle was composed of a main fort, a second fort, and a third fort. Currently, most of it has been taken out as building materials for U.S. military facilities after the war, so little remains of it. The Tamako Castle ruins have been designated a National Historic Site by the government since 1987. The view from the observation deck is magnificent, allowing visitors to experience the structure of ancient castles and the history of the Ryukyu Kingdom. It is a tourist spot where you can enjoy both the scenic beauty of nature and the history of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
