Shuri Castle, a symbol of Okinawa located at a UNESCO World Heritage Site that burned down in the prefecture in 2019, has been re-created in miniature form at a theme park in Nikko, a popular tourist spot north of Tokyo.
The 1:25 scale replica of the castle, which is currently being reconstructed, has been on display since April 24 at Tobu World Square that features models of world-famous landmarks.
On public display are 24 replica buildings, including a 62-centimeter-high Seiden main hall and a 44-cm-high Nanden south hall, in a 120-square-meter space at the park in the popular Kinugawa hot spring resort area in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture.
