Nakamura house that is a symbol of an good and old days of Okinawa was built in around mid 18th century. The house survived through the harsh battle of Okinawa miraculously and it was designated by the Ryukyu kingdom as the traditional Okinawan residence in 1956, as important cultural property by Japanese government in 1972. The owner of the house was Ugaji who was a upper classes farmer. Hence there are barns at the house on site. You can see the stone fences for keeping pigs and the goddess of fire is deified. The stone wall made from Ryukyu lime stone and Garcinia spicata trees are surounded the house to protect the house from typhoon wind. The house has a culm atmosphere. The state of preservation of the house is very good. You can enter the house to observe.
After you observed the house, you can have home-made brown sugar jelly and tea at the Nakamura house souvenir shop. The jelly is so delicious especially when it’s hot. It has mellow and bitter-sweet taste. There is a recipe of how to make the jelly, it’s recommended to try making at home!

Koi fish are swimming at the pond in the garden. There are tables and chairs you can sit and relax. It’s recommended to sit at the table and see the Nakamura house in a distance. You may feel the eternal time from the past to the future
