Omoro Botanical Garden

Omoro Botanical Garden is a beautiful and unique place to enjoy cherry blossoms in Okinawa. Unlike traditional hanami spots, this garden showcases a wide variety of tropical plants alongside the pink sakura trees, creating a striking contrast. Walking through the well-maintained paths, I was impressed by the combination of colors and scents from different flowers blooming at the same time. The cherry blossoms here are slightly scattered, but the tranquil atmosphere makes up for it. Since it’s a botanical garden, there’s also an educational aspect, with signs explaining the different plant species. It’s a wonderful place for nature lovers and those looking for a peaceful, uncrowded cherry blossom experience. I recommend visiting in late January when the sakura are at their peak. Whether you’re a photographer, a botany enthusiast, or just looking for a quiet place to relax, this garden is a hidden gem worth exploring.
