Nakagusuku Cstale

In the second half of the 14th century,Sakinakagusuku Aji constructed four　enclosures: the First, Second, South and　West enclosures. Construction took place　over several generations. Around 1440, the Nakagusuku Aji Gosamaru,　who had been relocated from Zakimi Castle　in Yomitan, added the North and Third　enclosures, completing construction of this　castle with six beautiful enclosures. In August 15th 1458 of the Chinese　calendar month, Katsuren Aji, the Lord　Amawari, led a raid with the king’s army,　suspecting Gosamaru of treason.　Lord Gosamaru committed suicide, without attempting to fight.
