Cherry Blossom in Okinawa (2)

Spring is officially here in Okinawa. Cherry blossom is in full bloom, and it’s starting to warm up.

The cherry trees in Okinawa produce dense pink blossoms, quite unlike the pale blooms up on mainland Japan.

The most popular viewing spot in Okinawa is not a large public park, but on the twisty road up Yae mountain near Nago City. It’s a pretty drive, but get there very early, or you’ll get stuck in a long line of cars.
