About Urasoe

Urasoe City is located at the border between the southern and central parts of Okinawa, encased between Naha City to the south and Ginowan City to the north. It is the 4th most populous city in Okinawa, with 114,200 people. It is the area where the Ryukyu Dynasty originated, and for approximately 220 years starting in the 12th century, it prospered as the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom, centered on Urasoe Castle (now the Urasoe Castle ruins).
The phrase "Uraosoi" came from the meaning "tsutsu uraura wo osou" (rule various countries); this changed into "Urashii" and then the current "Urasoe." In addition, this is one of the most active handball areas in Japan, with handball clubs at all of the public elementary and junior high schools in the city.
