Nakamurake Residence	# 15   of 21 most visited sights in Okinawa Island
access  -  admission  -  ratings  -  tours  -  links

Nakamurake is a traditional Okinawan style house, dating from the 18th century, when it served as the residence of the Nakamura family. Nakamurake has been designated a major cultural asset by the Japanese government and is open to the public. Nakamurake displays many typical characteristics of a wealthy Okinawan farmer's residence, such as a red tiled roof with statues of shisa, lion like creatures that ward off evil spirits and are omnipresent in Okinawa, and a stone wall and high trees for protection against the frequent typhoons. It is recommended to combine a visit to Nakamurake with a visit to the nearby Nakagusuku Castle Ruins. Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.

How to get there

The Nakamurake Residence is located in central Okinawa Honto, about 15 kilometers northeast of Naha and just 500 meters from the Nakagusuku Castle Ruins. By bus Like the nearby castle ruins, the Nakamurake Residence is not served by public transportation. The closest bus stops are about two kilometers or a 30-40 minute walk away. The most convenient among them is Kishaba (喜舎場), served by highway bus number 111 and 113 (30 minutes, 780 yen from Naha Bus Center, 45 minutes, 890 yen from Naha Airport) with one or two connections per hour. By car Take the Okinawa Expressway to the Kita-Nakagusuku Exit (about 20 minutes from central Naha; more during rush hours), from where signs will lead you in about five minutes to the nearby castle.
