I always had planned on visiting the haunted hotel before it was demolished. At the rate construction goes in Okinawa, I thought I had a bit more time. Though, it appears demolition goes a lot quicker than building.

After bringing in the new year with the Mabuni Fire and Bell Festival, I rushed on over to Nakagusuku Castle to catch the first sunrise of the year (2020).

But, before leaving, I wanted to see if I could still get my chance to tour the hotel before the heavy machinery came in to tear it down.

After going through old photos, it appeared that on January 1, 2020, I was a bit too late.

This was all that remained:

I noticed a red torii and from other pictures shrines of some sort that the hotel encased. I will eventually get out there again and see what it looks like three months later.
