2. Gusuku, or just suku, is the term used for the distinctive Okinawan form of castles or fortresses. In standard Japanese, the same kanji is pronounced "shiro", but the word may be cognate with a different (Sino-)Japanese word, "soku" (塞), which means "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.
