During my trip to Okinawa, I had the chance to visit Nago Castle Park, one of the best cherry blossom spots on the island. Unlike the pale pink cherry blossoms in mainland Japan, the park is covered with around 20,000 Kanhi-zakura trees, which have vibrant, deep pink flowers. The contrast between the bright blossoms and the blue Okinawan sky was absolutely stunning!
Walking along the paths lined with sakura trees, I felt completely immersed in spring. The park also offers great panoramic views of Nago Bay, making it a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the scenery. If you’re visiting Okinawa in late January to early February, this is definitely a must-see!
Why You Should Visit:
✔ See 20,000 vibrant Kanhi-zakura cherry trees in bloom
✔ Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Nago Bay
📍 Address: Nago, Okinawa, Japan
