Don't miss the full bloom! Six Cherry Blossom Tours in Okinawa
I think many people have a warm image of Okinawa all year round, but after mid-December it gradually gets chilly. The cherry blossoms of Okinawa bloom from January to March in response to such cold weather. Speaking of cherry blossoms, the pale white "Yoshino cherry tree" is common, but the cherry blossoms in Okinawa are "Ryukyukan Hizakura" (Ryukyu Kanhizakura), which is characterized by dark pink. A mysterious cherry tree that goes south from north to south, contrary to the cherry blossom front of the Japanese Islands, which is known for its earliest flowering in the country and travels north from south to north. There are various theories for this reason, but it is said that the cold waves necessary for the buds of flowers born in summer to wake up from dormancy descend from northern Okinawa Island (especially high mountains) to the southern part . This time, I would like to introduce some of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Okinawa! Why don't you feel the sign of spring a little earlier?
