Shuri Castle Park in Okinawa will revise its admission fees and introduce an advance reservation system in conjunction with the public reopening of its main hall on November 23.
The main hall, which was destroyed in a 2019 fire, has been undergoing reconstruction. Admission fees will be revised to coincide with the reopening, taking into account strengthened disaster prevention and fire safety measures, as well as increased operating costs.
Visits inside the main hall will require advance reservations for designated 30-minute time slots. Facilities within the paid area other than the main hall can be entered and viewed without a reservation. Individual reservations will be accepted via the website, with up to nine tickets available per transaction. Holders of disability certificates, Okinawa Prefecture residents aged 70 and over, and annual passport holders will also need reservations, while preschool children will not.
Individual reservations for admission from November 23 through December 31 will be sold in two rounds, beginning at 1 p.m. on September 1 and October 1. For admission from January 1, 2027, sales will begin at 1 p.m. on the first day of the month two months before the planned visit date. For the time being, group visits inside the main hall will be allocated by lottery through a group reservation form, and reservations for visits from November 23 through December 6 will not be accepted.

For groups of 20 or more, fees are 800 yen for adults, 610 yen for high school students, and 300 yen for elementary and junior high school students.
