A UNESCO World Heritage. The mausoleum of the royal family of the Ryūkyū (=Okinawan) Kingdom. It contains 3 chambers, the eastern chamber stores the ornamented urns (shrine) of kings and queens, the western one stores the urns of other clans and the central one is a temporary storage of a dead body until it decay into bones. Surrounded by double gate walls and 2 gargoyle-like animals on the top. Almost demolished by the Okinawan battle during the World War II, reconstructed during 1974-1977.
Admission 300 Japanese Yen, open 9:00-18:00 all year long.
