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 Cherry Blossom Festival Dancing Parade

Nago Cherry Blossom Festival has been held under the grey sky so far. Rain is the last thing we need. Luckily, we've had only occasional sprinkles, and the dancing parade by local women's association was held as scheduled.

This year, the ladies wore blight pint outfit, assimilating themselves with the cherry flowers here.
