Shuri Castle 600 Year Old Castle Naha Okinawa, Japan UNESCO Heritage Site Our Memory
#shuricastle #shurijocastle #shurinahaOkinawa Japan
This is our memory of Shuri or Shurijo Castle in Naha, Okinawa Japan. It is a popular UNESCO Heritage Site. We visited this castle during their traditional New Year's Day celebration while we were living in Okinawa. It was called Chohai-Okishi. The event was very colorful. This 600 year old castle is a popular tourist attraction in Naha and was once the castle of the Ryukyu Kingdom. It was sad to hear the news that the castle got caught on fire.

Shurijo (Shuri Castle 首里城), Naha, Okinawa
#Shurijo or #Shuri #Castle (#首里城) is a historial landmark in #Naha, #Okinawa, #Japan. The original date of construction of this royal palace castle is unclear but historical evidence shows it served as the royal palace by the rulers of the Ryukyu Kingdom (琉球國, 1429–1879).
The castle was flattened in early 1945 during the Battle of Okinawa. After the war, the ground was turned into a university campus.
Beginning in 1992, the central citadel and walls were largely reconstructed on the original site based on historical records, photographs, and memory.
On Thursday, October 31, 2019, large parts of Shuri Castle including the three main buildings in the main courtyard were destroyed by fire. The cause of the first is still under investigation as of November 2, 2019. The national government has vowed to rebuild the destroyed buildings.
This video only shows you the exterior and surroundings of the castle due to the park's ban on photogarphing the inside of the buildings. You may find a few photos showing the inside of some of the buildings at

A fire ripped through Shuri Castle on Japan’s southern island of Okinawa, early on October 31, 2019. The historic Japanese castle was largely destroyed during World War II, but reopened as a national park after restoration in 1992. It was registered along with the surrounding complex and other Ryukyu sites in the region as a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2000.

Shuri Castle Fire

My video on Shuri Castle before the fire:
Footage courtesy NHK world Japan
Waking up to this was terrible this morning! Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Okinawa people who have been so kind and loving to our family. We grieve with this important historical loss.
The main building of Shuri Castle, a symbol of Okinawa Prefecture and popular tourist attraction in the city of Naha, was destroyed in a fire early Thursday morning, authorities said. The cause of the fire remains unknown.
There were no reports of injuries, police and fire officials said, but about 30 nearby residents were temporarily evacuated.
The fire was put out around 11 a.m., the city of Naha’s fire department said.
In total, about 4,200 square meters of the facility have been destroyed, including the main, north and south buildings. All three were wooden structures, but no sprinklers were installed, the fire department said.
More than 10 fire engines were dispatched to the scene. Fire officials said it is highly likely that the fire started in the main building.
The castle long served as the heart of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which ruled the island prefecture from 1429 to 1879, but was destroyed in the Battle of Okinawa in the closing days of World War II. The structures were reconstructed in 1992, and the castle ruins were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000.
“The cause of the fire has not been determined yet but a security company alarm went off at around 2:30 in the morning,” said Ryo Kochi, a spokesman with the Okinawa Prefectural Police.
Television footage showed large orange flames engulfing the castle.

Fire at Shuri Castle, a world heritage site
A fire is raging at Shuri Castle, a UNESCO's World Heritage site in the southern prefecture of Okinawa. It started early Thursday morning. Fire trucks have rushed to the scene.
The Naha city fire department says it received an emergency call reporting a fire at the castle at about 2:40 a.m. Japan time.
Police say the main hall and a nearby building have burned to the ground, and another building is burning.
No reports of injury have been reported so far.
The castle, built about 500 years ago by the Ryukyu Dynasty, was designated Japan's national treasure in 1933.
It burnt to the ground during World War Two.
The main hall was restored in 1992, and served as the venue of a banquet for leaders attending the Group of Eight summit.
Remnants of the original castle have also been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, alongside ruins of other castles of the Ryukyu Kingdom in Okinawa.

Shuri Castle Before Fire // Okinawa // Japan
A week after our visit to Shuri Castle on Okinawa(Shurijo) it caught on fire and burned to the ground. The original ruins are over 500 years old and now it seems they need to rebuild everything for the third time. It's sad to see something so cultural and close to the hearts of the Japanese people get struck by bad luck again and again.
In this video you can see what our visit looked like, hopefully catch the feeling the place has to it. Hope you will enjoy!
