About The Author

Welcome to OKINAWA LOCAL TOUR GUIDE'S BLOG.

This blog is created by a local tour guide born and raised in the northern region of Okinawa island. This lush mountainous area is locally known as Yanbaru, and the name means to the locals as a place to enjoy and appreciate nature.
I write, in a rather freewheeling manner, things I see and hear mainly in the nature-rich region of Okinawa . Okinawa is the southernmost prefecture in Japan. Come and experience this unique resort island in the heart of subtropical climate and blue ocean.

Nago City Cherry Blossom Festival, cherry flower photos

Cherry trees are not yet in full blossom. It is going to be so in a week or two. Hope I can upload some photos of Nangusuku Hill when the hill sides turn into pink. (Nago Cherry Blossom Festival is an annual event held in the city of Nago, Okinawa, Japan.)

Cherry Flower (Hikan Zakura type)


At this season, Hikanzakura cherry trees bear only flowers.
