Tomari gusuku (not to be confused with the town of [[Tomari]] in [[Naha]]) was a fortress located in what is today [[Yomitan]] village in central Okinawa. It served as a watchtower and trading base for the main fortress of the area, [[Yara gusuku]], located a short distance away.

Tomari is famous as the supposed location where the son of [[Chiyomatsu]] (third [[anji|lord]] of [[Nakijin gusuku]]), and great-grandchild of King [[Eiso]], took refuge after a failed rebellion.
