Many people have a warm image of Okinawa all year round, but after mid-December it gets chilly little by little. Okinawa's cherry blossoms bloom from January to March, invited by such cold. Speaking of cherry blossoms, "Yoshino cherry tree" are generally pale white, but Okinawan cherry blossoms are "Ryukyukan Hizakura", which features a deep pink color. It is known for its earliest flowering in the whole country, and is a mysterious cherry tree that goes south from north to south, contrary to the cherry blossom front of the Japanese Islands, which moves north from south to north. There are various theories for this, but it is said that the cold wave necessary for the buds of flowers born in summer from dormant, descends from northern Okinawa Island (especially high mountains) to the south. This time, I will introduce some of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Okinawa! Why don't you feel the spring sign of spring a little earlier?
