"Free Tour" The Lost Kingdom of Ryukyu: History, Legends and Panoramic Views in Shuri

On this tour, we'll walk around the majestic Shuri Castle, the heart of the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom. But this won't be a boring history lesson; I'll tell you how this small island was once an independent kingdom that traded throughout Asia, developing a unique culture unlike anything you'll see elsewhere in Japan.


What will we do on this tour?
The Gates of History: We will begin at the emblematic Shureimon, a symbol of Ryukyu courtesy.
Architecture and Resilience: I will tell you about the reconstruction of the castle and how the spirit of "Ichariba Chode" (once we meet, we are brothers) keeps this community alive.
Sacred Stone Paths: We will walk along the ancient stone causeways of Kinjo-cho, a place that will make you feel like you have traveled back in time.
Panoramic Views: We will finish at a strategic point with the best views of Naha, perfect for your souvenir photos.

Important information about the entrance:
The main tour covers the free areas and historical surroundings. However, if you wish to enter the interior of Shuri Castle (the reconstructed area), the entrance fee is not included and is the responsibility of each visitor (400 yen, approximately US$2.50). It is entirely optional!

The tour lasts 2 hours
Available in Spanish

Guiding since 2026
Hi! I'm Soshi, originally from Japan, and your local guide on the wonderful island of Okinawa. My life has been one big adventure between Asia and Latin America. I lived seven and a half years in Costa Rica ("Pura Vida!") and over three years in Mexico, in addition to traveling through Nicaragua, Panama, Egypt, and Turkey. These experiences not only gave me the language, but also a heart that beats to a Latin rhythm. I'm a cheerful, fun-loving person, always looking for something new and interesting. I'm passionate about meeting people from all over the world and sharing authentic experiences. My goal is for you to feel like a friend visiting, not a tourist. Why discover Okinawa with me? Real Connection: I understand your culture, your sense of humor, and your worldview. Forget the barriers; with me, you'll be speaking "the same language" from the very first minute. Unique Experiences: Having lived abroad for so long, I know exactly what will fascinate you about Japan and what secrets of Okinawa will thrill you. Positive Energy: Let's walk, laugh, and discover the most authentic corners of the island with the best vibes. Let me show you the soul of Okinawa through a lens that blends Japanese hospitality with Latin passion! See you in paradise?
