shuri castle is one of the major sights in okinawa, and is a nice walk from the monorail station. the surrounding park made for a relaxing time on a sunny summer-ish day..
i frolicked - or attempted clumsily to - in this huge patch of grass and tiny flowers
one characteristic of okinawan buildings is that their roofs are more concrete than tile..
along the path to the castle..
this lady was feeding the ducks as she strolled along the river
cute!!
heron!
check out what i saw at the gate of this primary school:
the side gate of the castle grounds:
the main castle buiding..
and the cool dragon atop it..
a small garden within the palace which looks more savanna-like than tropical!
inside the throne room.. it was very shiny..
so totally chinese..
beautiful toilet decoration..
and the old prefectural museum outside the castle:
