Agena Castle, Gusuku castle in Uruma, Japan
The Agena Castle stands on Ryukyuan limestone foundation and covers 8,000 square meters at an elevation of 49 meters above sea level.
During the 15th century, the castle served as a fortified residence for the Ōgawa Aji, the regional governor of the Ōgawa Magiri in the Ryūkyū Kingdom.
The castle grounds contain multiple utaki sites dedicated to Ryukyuan religion, demonstrating the ancient spiritual practices of the region.
