中村家住宅

The Nakamura House extends across 1,560 square meters of land, featuring a main building with eight distinct rooms and traditional Okinawan architectural elements.

The residence dates back to the mid-18th century when the Nakamura family held administrative positions in the region after being appointed as local governors in 1720.

The structure incorporates specific wood types, such as Chaagi and Iiku, which were exclusively permitted for noble residences during the Ryukyu Kingdom period.

Visitors can explore the property from Monday to Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, excluding Wednesdays and Thursdays, with entrance fees of 500 yen for adults.

The property includes a specialized elevated storehouse called Takakura with rodent prevention features and uses red Okinawan roof tiles instead of traditional thatch.
