Cherry blossom season is a celebration of fleeting beauty and a highlight of Japan’s event calendar. Enjoy the timeless beauty of cherry blossoms among the ancient ruins of Nakijin Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At night, see the blooms illuminated against the backdrop of the castle walls. During the festival period, visitors can experience Ryukyu culture through traditional arts and other festivities. Okinawa’s cherry trees typically bloom between mid-January and early February.
