This is May in Japan.
I went on a trip to Okinawa for 2 days and 1 night with my friend,last month.
It was a short trip, but that was a very fulfilling trip.
The second day of the trip,that was good weather.
We borrowed a rental car and went for a drive.
At first we went to Shuri Castle in the morning.
This is "Shureimon".
It is a main gate of Shuri Castle.
We went to Shuri Castle passing through this gate.
This is a main shrine of Shuri Castle.
It was the palace of the Ryūkyū Kingdom.
It is unlike the traditional castle of Japan.
Shuri Castle was strongly influenced by Chinese culture,because trade with China was prosperous in the Ryukyu dynasty.
This is an Emperor's chair.
The decoration was very beautiful.
The atmosphere of Shuri Castle was such as the foreign country,that was very wonderful.
We were impressed by Shuri Castle.
To be continued...
