Shurijo Castle, the majestic center of politics, diplomacy, and culture of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
In the Battle of Okinawa in 1945, Shurijo Castle was left in ruins but in 1992, commemorating the 20th year since Okinawa’s reversion to Japan, Shurijo Castle was restored and opened as a national park.
Noted for its cultural and historical significance in the distinctive archeological style that combined the structural cultures of both China and Japan, as well as the high skills in the stonework, Shurijo Castle was registered as Japan’s 11th World Heritage Site in December of 2000.
The stately appearance of Shurijo Castle with its brilliant vermilion color speaks of the great history and culture of the proud kingdom, and symbolizes Okinawa.

Why is it called Ni-neizaka?
1. It is said that this name was given when the slope was built in the 2nd year of Datong (807 AD).
2. The theory that it came to be called Niningzaka because it is under Sanneizaka.
So why Sanneizaka?
It is a famous story that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's right wife (northern political office) "Nene" lived in Kodaiji. It is said that the name came from the fact that "Nene" went up the slope to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple in memory of the birth of a child.
If you fall on Niningzaka, you will die within two years?!
This slope has been around for a long time, but this name became the street name because it means the slope in front of Sanen-zaka.
The legend that "if you stumble and fall here, you will die within two years" seems to have been handed down as a warning phrase "Be careful on the stone steps."
According to a certain diary, "In the eighth year of the Horeki era (1758), a person named Masuya Kihei, with the permission of the government, made it a pioneer house." Since then, this area has been called Masuyacho. It is the current house in the early Taisho period and is designated as a national townscape preservation area.
