History of Zakimi Castle Ruins

Zakimi Castle Ruins hold a special place in the history of Okinawa.

Constructed between 1416 and 1422, this castle was built by the powerful local lord Gosamaru during the era of Shō Hashi, the first king of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

It is said that the castle was strategically built for the purpose of monitoring forces opposing the king.

Zakimi Castle Ruins are known for their beautifully curved walls, and their elegance has earned them a spot among Japan’s Top 100 Castles.

The curves of the walls resemble the arch structure of modern dams, indicating the advanced ancient castle-building technology.

The ruins also feature unique architectural elements like the arch stone gate and the use of wedge-shaped stones, showcasing Gosamaru’s exceptional castle-building skills.

It is reported that the construction of Zakimi Castle involved sourcing materials from the nearby Yamada Castle and summoning laborers from the Amami Islands.

The stones were passed by hand and painstakingly stacked, as per the historical accounts.

In 1956, it was designated as an Important Cultural Property, and in 1972, it became a nationally designated historical site.

Furthermore, in 2000, it was registered as part of the “Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu” World Heritage Site.
