Exploring Nago
Okinawa is way south of mainland Japan which means that it is much warmer and therefore the cherry blossom season is much earlier. When I got here I was told that it was around that season, so after asking around about where to go to see cherry blossoms, I headed up north to Nago. The bus takes 1 hour and about 1000yen but it is a nice trip. I spent the whole day exploring, hiking, and walking around the city of Nago.
Big tree.
Climbing up to the old Nago Castle ruins, and looking down halfway.
Where the castle used to be.
Cherry blossoms. Its not the same kind as in Tokyo.
