First stop is Nagakusuku farmer’s house, a way to hide from a rain shower. It is the dwelling of a rich farmer, small compact design with barn area for keeping goats, pigs, horses, kitchen with all the old tools and equipments and decent living space.
Next is Nagakusugu ruin, number one of all the castles because on top of the ring of outer wall, it has a lot of remaining stone structures of buildings inside. Enough to figure out that it used to have 3 groups of buildings in a straight line one leading to the other and increasing in size.
Also built on hill top with a commanding panoramic view of the surrounding area. 3 types of stone laying methods were used, straight sided, hexagonal and irregular. A lot of walls with curves, amazing skill!
Last stop is Cape Zanpa, a wild pointy coast with powerful waves crashing to the cliffs. The light house has a fantastic view of the violent sea, just100 steps up. It was blowing gusty strong wind, up in the open platform is a frightening yet mesmerising experience.
