The Shuri Kinjô ''ishi-tatami'' road is a section of historical cobblestone road, running south from [[Shuri castle]] for a distance of about 300 meters. Constructed in [[1522]] under King [[Sho Shin|Shô Shin]], it was originally part of the royal Pearl Road which connected the castle to [[Naha]] Port. This section, located in Shuri's Kinjô neighborhood, survived the Battle of Okinawa, and continues today to be lined with homes in the traditional style.
