The Nakijin കാസിൽ അവശിഷ്ടങ്ങൾ are located on the Motobu Peninsula of northern ഒകിനാവ Honto and are among the UNESCO World Heritage നിയുക്ത Castles of the Ryukyu Kingdom. വിപരീതമായി മറ്റ് castles on ഒകിനാവ, Nakijin കോട്ടയിൽ നിൽക്കുന്ന ഒരു പ്രദേശത്തെ കുറഞ്ഞ ജനസംഖ്യ സാന്ദ്രത കൂടി, നിബിഡ വനങ്ങള്, ആ bestow the ruins with a unique atmosphere.
Nakijin Castle was built in the late 1200s. During the Sanzan കാലഘട്ടം (1322-1429), ഒകിനാവ 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 രാജാവ് until it was taken over by the Chuzan on their way to unifying the island and forming the Ryukyu Kingdom.
പുറമെ കാസിൽ അവശിഷ്ടങ്ങൾ stands the Nakijin Village History and Culture Center with a small museum displaying items unearthed on the castle grounds, such as Chinese, മൺപാത്രങ്ങൾ, coins and documents. There are also exhibits about everyday life and culture of Nakijin Village.
