The Cherry Blossom Festival (Sakura) has begun in Okinawa. So, since it was a holiday today we decided to take a group up to Nago and sight see. The flowers are so beautiful! The Sakura season begins later in the year on Mainland Japan. But for us here in Okinawa it is a bit warmer and the flowers come out earlier. The Sakura are stronger in Okinawa lasting about 1 month verses the Sakura on Mainland Japan which lasts only 1 week. Because of the harsher weather in Okinawa the trees are stronger, but honestly, they say the Sakura on the Mainland are more beautiful.
