What other travelers are saying about Urasoe Castle Ruins
Wonderful place to visit. The castle was under construction when I visited. We had a behind the scenes tour. It is going to be spectacular. There is a lot to see as is.

These Okinawan castle ruins offer stunning views and a glimpse into history 🏰🌳. Explore the remains of this 14th-century fortress, learn about its significance, and enjoy the scenic surroundings.
Here you also see Hacksaw Ridge. This WWII battlefield is where Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector, saved hundreds of lives 🏥🌟. The museum and memorials provide a poignant look at his bravery. A must-visit for history buffs and those interested in inspiring stories.
A nice place to visit to learn about the history of the castle ruins and hacksaw ridge. Some good views and some nice ancient architecture.
After watching the movie "Hacksaw Ridge," visiting the actual site can be very impactful. It's hard to imagine how the U.S. forces managed to attack from the beach and the sheer number of casualties on this land. Here, you can also see the tunnels left by the Japanese forces. As for the ruins of the city, most of it was also destroyed during the war.
Historical site of Okinawa war. Actual site of hacksaw ridge. Free to visit, nearest metro station Urasoe Maeda. Walk toward police station, turn left to car park and walk upwards. Alternative alight at last station and take taxi, cost around 800
