首里城再建中　Road to Revival Shuri Castle #okinawa #castle

Shuri Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of the Ryukyu Kingdom in Okinawa, Japan, has faced multiple destructions, notably during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945 and a devastating fire in 2019 that destroyed nine structures, including the Seiden (Main Hall). The “Road to Revival” refers to the ongoing efforts to reconstruct and restore the castle to its former glory, with a target completion date for the Seiden by autumn 2026.
