Yaedake Cherry Blossom Forest Park is the main venue of the Motobu Yaedake Cherry Blossom Festival, which is held from mid-January to early February, with the catchphrase "Earliest cherry blossoms in Japan"
It is located halfway up Mt. Yaedake, where cherry blossoms bloom.
In addition, the green trees and flowers reminiscent of the Yanbaru forest are in full bloom, attracting many visitors from all over the prefecture.
A festival is held during the full bloom period, so early arrangements is required for shooting.
About 7,000 trees near Mt. Yaedake, 453m above sea level.
The photo shows the state of 90% bloom.
