Itokazu Castle, Limestone castle ruins in Nanjō, Japan
The high stone walls of Itokazu Castle reach 6 meters in height, forming the largest castle structure in southern Okinawa Island.
Built during the first half of the 14th century, Itokazu Castle served as a residence for the Aji of Tamagusuku Magiri until 1429.
The castle incorporates traditional Ryukyuan building methods, featuring limestone masonry that demonstrates the architectural techniques of medieval Okinawa.
Visitors can reach the castle by following Prefectural Route 48 to Itokazu Iriguchi intersection, then driving north and turning right at the ruins sign.
The castle grounds contain Neishi Gusuku, a sacred stone structure used as a base during the main castle's construction period.
