Every year, the Motobu Yaedake Cherry Blossom Festival is held to coincide with the blossoming of the trees. During the festival, in addition to various food stalls, you can also enjoy the seasonal Sakura Ice Cream. Okinawa's cherry blossoms are the earliest in Japan! From Yaedake, you can enjoy the scenery of the blue sea of ​​Okinawa and the Kanhizakura. Please come visit Okinawa during the cherry blossom season.
