Hello! I'm Kazuari from Okibura.
Shuri Castle, a symbol of Okinawa tourism.
Actually, I’ve been there five times in total—twice before it burned down completely, and three times since then, even as reconstruction continues. Even though it’s changed in appearance, the special atmosphere that fills that place is truly one of a kind.
I was interviewed by “CREAL,” a real estate and lifestyle media outlet, about the deep charm of the “Shuri Area”!
In this article, in true Okibura style,"More Than Just Shuri Castle: How to Explore Shuri"...and speaks candidly about it.
・A "must-try Okinawa soba shop" frequented by locals and known only to those in the know
・Be Awed by the Majestic Stone Walls: My "Best Walking Route"
・It’s not just about learning about history! There are also hands-on facilities for Shuri weaving and more.
And so on—we’ve packed this guide with in-depth ways to enjoy Shuri that you won’t find on the first page of a guidebook.
If you're thinking, "I've been to Shuri Castle before, so maybe I don't need to go again...," that's exactly why I want you to see what it looks like now and discover the charms of the surrounding area!
To the CREAL editorial team: Thank you for so thoughtfully bringing our feelings for the town of Shuri to life.
Be sure to pay a visit to Shuri to feel the pleasant breeze from the hilltop.
