Shurijo Castle Revival Festival is one of Naha’s biggest and most important events, celebrating the legacy of the Kingdom of the Ryukyus.
In past years, the festival was simply known as the Shuri Castle Festival. To signal their determination to restore the castle to its former state, organizers have added “revival” to the name.

The festivities which take place at Shuri Castle are a solemn reenactment of the procession of the Ryukyu King to the three temples near Shurijo Castle. The king would go every year to these three temples to pray for peace and prosperity. It is very striking to see the beautiful Ryukyu traditional dress with the backdrop of Shuri Castle.
