We parked below Kinjo Stone Path in public parking. Here is aaddress: Okinawa-ken, Naha-shi, Shurikinjōchō, 2 Chome, 首里金城町２丁目８４− 3.
Look around a bit you will find parking.
Walk up is a bit strenuous so take your time. Wear a hat. Bring and drink water. You can rest and cool down at rest house about 250 meters up. It is so comfortable.
Continue your walk up another 15 to 20 minutes, pass through a large banyan tree then up another 150 meters and you be on the Castle grounds.
This walk is far better than the castle except for wonderful panoramas from the castle walls.

Be aware that this is a very steep path and at points not clear where to go next. That stated if you are interested in Okinawan history this is a "must do" walk. I've walked this path a few times and always find something new.
As you walk along picture the past royal Okinawans walking the path and imagine what that would have been like...

The descent is steep & walking is difficult on the stones. Ancient trees, places of worship and water springs/wells found along the path. There is also a rest house (need to take your shoes off)

This is a beautiful road. It's hilly and you'll get sweaty quick in the humidity, but it's totally worth it. Bring sunscreen, hat, and mosquito repellent if you want to see the ancient trees just off the road to the east.

After visiting Shurijo Castle we wandered down toward town via the old Shrinkinjocho Stone Path, taking pictures and enjoying the views of the flowers and the many houses with their gateways topped by pairs of traditional Shisa dogs. These ceramic are pieces are half dog/half lion and are meant to guard their owners’ houses. We also saw the 200-year old sacred tree and some local shops along the way. It was a wonderful way to see where the locals live and to enjoy a stroll. Just make sure you go after the castle—don’t try walking up to the castle via the path unless you want a really good workout. The path is steep.
