Nakagusuku Castle (中城城 Nakagusuku-jō) is a gusuku in the village of Kitanakagusuku Okinawa Prefecture Japan. It is one of a number of castles built on the island of Okinawa during the Ryukyu Kingdom now in ruins. The legendary Ryukyuan commander Gosamaru built the fortress in the early 15th century to defend against attacks from the east by Lord Amawari of Katsuren Castle. The six courtyards of this fortress with stacked stone walls make it a prime example of a gusuku.
