Katsuren castle ruins sit upon a hill at the base of Katsuren Peninsula. This castle was constructed during the period when the Ryukyu Kingdom was established by Amawari, (also called Kimutaka-no-Amawari by local residents). The elegance of this castle ruins was compared to Kyoto and Nara in the “Omorososhi”, the literary masterpiece of ancient ballads from the Okinawa and Amami Island.
