So, I ran away from this awful camp ground and it’s probably Saturday in other countries too as well now so be ready for the Ryūkyū Heritage Days ! #JEP2023 #EHD2023 and a bit of #CastleSaturday too.
I went to Shimashii Ufuzatu Gusuku (aka Shimashii Ōzato Castle in Japanese, don’t ask me why they kept the Ryūkyūan name for the first part and not the second…) yesterday morning. 1/n @archaeodons
