I give it 4 stars because I don’t think the ruins are worth 1000 yen. I would do it on a slow day of your travel itinerary. The facilities are good though, to rest and get a snack. Don’t miss the cultural center which is included in admission and it has artifacts that were excavated.
Amazing castle ruins with a view towards East China Sea. Easily accessible with public transport (for those who are not driving). Worth a visit for anyone who is travelling in northern Okinawa.
Great place, there's no buildings left, just walls and platforms. There's gift shops next to the ticket booth. Supposedly there's cats in the site, we saw none. Tickets are 1k yen.
The weather was bad when we got there, but the view was nice and I loved it. The staff were friendly, and the food was good. We went there on February 8, the last day of the festival. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great, but even so, the place was really good. It would be very nice to visit on a sunny day.
Bit expensive (1000yen) for entry. But its well maintained and has many informative signs throughout, and being so remote probably drives the price up. The picture below was one of the best spots in my opinion, you could walk down and around the large stones and there was a cave entrance you could look into as well. The parking area has some very interesting restrooms with no roof which was cool. There are also a few shops near the entrance that have some wonderful handmade art, and food/ice cream (and other typical touristy items).
