Cherry blossoms are a prime attraction for tourists and locals alike in Japan, but for many parts of the country, seeing them bloom in January is a statistical impossibility. That's not the case in Okinawa, though! The Nago Cherry Blossom Festival is held annually on the last Saturday and Sunday of January, and gives visitors the chance to enjoy the splendor of the iconic blooms in all their glory.
The blossoms are the star attraction, but there are also stage performances and food booths at the event.
