Gusuku
, or just , is the Okinawan word for " castle" or " fortress." In standard Japanese, the the same kanji is pronounced "shiro", but the word is probably cognate with a different Japanese word "soko" (塞), meaning "fortress". Many gusuku and related cultural remains in the Ryūkyū Islands have been listed by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites under the title Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu.
