This giant, multi-level luxury hotel was started in the 1970s but was never completed. Its empty shell can still be found perched on a hill dominating the local landscape near the famous Nakagusuku Castle.
Surprisingly little is known about its true history as its past is shrouded in mystery. It is said to have been built on a sacred site full of graves and that the construction of the hotel was halted after being plagued by numerous unexplained accidents among the construction workers.
The final straw came when the owner decided to camp there for the night to show the creepy stories were all nonsense. They found him the next day, half-crazed, gibbering uncontrollably. Shortly after that, he disappeared, never seen or heard of again. Construction was never resumed and the abandoned site is said to be haunted by mysterious lights, possibly lost souls released by the intrusion of the hotel’s construction.
