中村家住宅

Nakamura House is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property that preserves a complete prewar Okinawan elite farmhouse compound, a rare survivor of the Battle of Okinawa. Official pages note its value for understanding upper-farmer life and traditional residential layout, with national designation following earlier Ryukyu Government protection. Family history connects ancestors to the circle of castle builder Gosamaru and later local headman roles. The house is typically open Monday, Tuesday, and Friday through Sunday from nine to five with last entry before closing, so confirm the weekly calendar before pairing a visit with nearby Nakagusuku Castle.
