“We will, absolutely, rebuild Shuri Castle” Okinawa governor promises after devastating fire soranews24.com

In the early hours of the morning on October 31, long before sunrise, the dark sky of Okinawa’s capital city Naha was lit by flames rising from Shuri Castle.
Shuri Castle is unique among Japan’s traditional strongholds in that it incorporates a mix of Japanese, Chinese, and other Asian influences.
On the afternoon of October 31, Okinawa governor Denny Tamaki held a press conference at the prefectural capital building, where he addressed his constituents’ pain and assured them that the beloved landmark is not gone forever.
We will, absolutely, rebuild Shuri Castle,” Tamaki promised.
While the project will be a massive undertaking, all of Shuri Castle’s original buildings had been destroyed or dismantled by 1945 at the latest.
