Middle Castle
One fateful Friday with nothing do to, I decided to take a 10 kilometer bike ride to Okinawa’s most preserved castle ruins. Little did I know that it was completely an uphill ride. When I got to Middle Castle (Nakagusuku) there was a nice old lady who gave me a free tour of the site. The area was built in special ways to protect it against earthquakes, strong winds, rain, typhoons, and invasions. The lady told me a lot about the old times of Okinawa and about the castle ruins history. The area is atop a hill and has great views of the surroundings.
