Katsuren Castle Ruins

At the park entrance, you'll first see a museum displaying antiques and various historical short films. After a brief introduction to the history, exit the building and cross to the other side where you can take a shuttle bus to the foot of the ruins. From there, a short climb up some steps leads to the top. It's clear that much of the original city wall is gone, and the buildings that once stood on it have also disappeared. The scenery is beautiful, offering panoramic views of the sea and the city, making it an excellent defensive position. Coming here isn't just about seeing ruins; by understanding the history, you can connect with them and imagine how Ama and Riku defended the city walls in their final moments.
