The Nakijin Castle Ruins are located on the Motobu Peninsula in northern Okinawa Honto, about 90 kilometers from Naha, and about a ten minute car ride from the Ocean Expo Park.

By direct bus from Naha
The Yanbaru Express directly connects the airport and city center of Naha with Nakijin Castle. Get off at Nakijinjōshi-iriguchi (今帰仁城跡入口), from where it is a 15-20 minute walk uphill to the castle ruins. The one way trip takes about 2.5 hours and costs 2000-2100 yen. Buses operate roughly every two hours. In central Naha, the bus stops at the Prefectural Office (県庁北口, Kenchō Kitaguchi) and Tomari Port among other locations.

By bus from Nago
Bus line numbers 65 or 66 run counterclockwise and clockwise respectively in a loop around the Motobu Peninsula. Get off at Nakijinjōshi-iriguchi (今帰仁城跡入口, 45-60 minutes, 800 yen from Nago Bus Terminal, 1-2 buses per hour), from where it is a 15-20 minute walk uphill to the castle ruins. The counterclockwise line 65 is faster from Nago to the castle, while the clockwise line 66 is faster in the opposite direction.

By car
By car, take the Okinawa Expressway from Naha all the way to its northern end near Nago (1040 yen one way) and then follow regular roads across the Motobu Peninsula to the Nakijin Castle Ruins. In total, the journey takes about two hours one way (more during rush hours).
