Shuri Castle, a world heritage site in Okinawa

If you can travel in Japan two more days, I highly recommend that you visit Okinawa. You'll find and enjoy a unique traditional culture which is a little different from the Japanese one and strongly influenced by Chinse culture.

Shuri castle is a typical example of Okinawa culture and inscribed as a World Heritage site. It's near Naha airport. You can very easily get there from the airport by monorail.

This is the main building of Shuri castle, called "Seiden". Do you think this looks like Forbidden City in  Beijing?
