Tamagusuku Castle

Tamagusuku Castle (Japanese: 玉城城 Tamagusuku jō, Okinawan: 玉城 Tamagushiku) is a Ryūkyūan castle on Okinawa Island in Tamagusuku, Okinawa (now part of Nanjō).

History
Tamagusuku Castle is the oldest castle in the Ryūkyū Islands. Legend says that the creation goddess, Amamikyu, built the castle for her son Tenson, the first King of Okinawa. If it was in fact built during the reign of Tenson, it would predate the Gusuku Period. It later served as the home of the Lord of Tamagusuku Magiri.
