We were lucky enough to have weekends off, so on one of the last weekends I talked a co-working into driving north "into the country." Our goal was the ruins of a Ryukyu castle - Nakajin.
Deep in Okinawan farm country where they grow bananas, pineapple, dragon fruit, and much more, we found the ruins perched atop a rise. Far less touristy than Shuri Castle, Nakajin-to was a well maintained site that afforded amazing views of the ocean. I guess the old say was just as true in the 1600's as it is now: it's good to be the boss!
