Walking from the back of the Shuri Castle, you will find this. It is surprising that there is no information at the Shuri Castle of this place. Visit the museum first and you will find the visit more fulfilling.
Tamaudun is a mausoleum of King Sho En of the Sho dynasty and royal members.
The entrance fee is 600 yen. I recommend this if you are visiting the Shuri castle. There’s a bit of history if you are interested. Except the outward appearance of the tomb, there isn’t much.
Very few visitors - not much info about this place at the Shuri Castle which is on the opposite site. Would have been good if they allowed to see beyond the closed doors of the wall.
Thanks to the lovely lady and gratitude to Niki from Tamaudun reception who was willing to guide me to less visited site of the Well of the Medieval Tenkaji Temple which is a sacred site for the local just before the Tamaudun.
Worth stopping by. Very close to Shuri castle and you can just walk there. The entrance cost was very low. Not often you have the chance to see the tomb of a real king!
This UNESCO site was the burial place of the Kings of Ryoku. There's an exhibition all about the site and pictures of the urns containing the remains of the kings. The chambers themselves are not open as the doors are locked and cordoned off. So you can only see the area in front of the chambers.
There is a reconstructed guard house that was the living space of the guardians of the site.
