The Nakijin Castle ruins were designated as a national historic site in May. 1972, and in Dec. 2000, the gusuku site and related heritage sites, including the Nakijin Castle ruins, were registered as a World Heritage Site.

If it's only light rain, the event will most likely go ahead, but if the weather is bad it may be cancelled.
This is the season when the temperature difference between daytime and nighttime becomes large and the sky becomes cloudy more often. It can also feel chilly at times, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket.
You may get splashed by waves. Umbrellas are not permitted, so please bring a poncho or raincoat.
Don't worry, sightseeing will proceed at a leisurely pace. However, please be careful as Shuri Castle Park and Nakijin Castle are paved with stone.
Nakijin Castle: There are many stone steps and uneven surfaces, making it difficult to view in a wheelchair. Please note that there are no ramps or other facilities to protect the ruins.
Whale watching: Due to limited space on board, wheelchairs cannot be brought on board. As the boat rocks, please make sure to have a caregiver accompany you.
Maximum temperature: 20.7℃, minimum temperature: 15.3℃
