Yara Castle Historical Park

Yara Castle Historical Park, located in Kadena-cho, Okinawa, is a testament to the Ryukyu Kingdom that once ruled an independent Okinawa. Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, the park now stands as a rugged expanse of castle ruins and gravesites of Ryukyuan royals. Visitors can explore the remnants of the past while traversing hiking trails that wind along the Hija River, offering a blend of historical insight and natural beauty.
