Southern Island Yambaru Forest Park (Nago City)

Located in the outskirts of Nago City, this forest-style park offers a closer connection to nature compared to the cherry blossom spots in the city. Scattered along the hiking trails are cold-weather cherry blossoms, which bloom from late January to early February, creating a charming and wild atmosphere amidst the forest. The park's unique feature lies in its pristine natural environment. While enjoying the cherry blossoms, visitors can also hear birds chirping and the sound of flowing streams, all while breathing in fresh air and soaking in the relaxing ambiance. Although the cherry blossom display is not as grand as that of Mount Yaedake or Nago Castle Park, the tranquility and purity of this location make it a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts. This spot is perfect for a hiking and cherry blossom viewing trip. Driving to the park is recommended. For a therapeutic day out, consider walking the trails with friends, enjoying a picnic, chatting, and admiring the blossoms.
