Located on the northwest corner of Motobu Peninsula, just 10 minutes by walk from Ocean Expo Park and Churaumi Aquarium, Bise Fukugi Tree Street is a pictureque and peaceful area made of traditional houses and old streets lined with approximately 20,000 tall trees.
Both sides of these special streets are delimited by Fukugi, a tree with thick leaves that is very resistant to fire. The characters of the word "Fukugi" mean "Good Luck Tree", and the reason is probably related to its properties. Being the island of Okinawa often hit by strong winds and typhoons in summer, and monsoons in winter, locals decided to plant this tree in the whole village, to get a protection against these natural dangers. The Fukugi tree is very resistant to wind, but has one problem: it grows very slowly. For this reason, residents did not get the benefits until 300 years later. It was a thoughtful act, to protect future generations.

The Nakijin Castle Ruins are located on the Motobu Peninsula of northern Okinawa Honto and are among the UNESCO World Heritage designated Castles of the Ryukyu Kingdom. In contrast to other castles on Okinawa, Nakijin Castle stands in an area of low population density with lush forests, that bestow the ruins with a unique atmosphere.
Nakijin Castle was built in the late 1200s. During the Sanzan Period (1322-1429), Okinawa Honto was divided into three kingdoms: the Hokuzan in the north, the Chuzan in the middle and the Nanzan in the south. Nakijin served as the castle of the Hokuzan king until it was taken over by the Chuzan on their way to unifying the island and forming the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Besides the castle ruins stands the Nakijin Village History and Culture Center with a small museum displaying items unearthed on the castle grounds, such as Chinese pottery, coins and documents. There are also exhibits about everyday life and culture of Nakijin Village.
