VIDEO: Exploring on Okinawa’s Nago-dake

View from Nago-dake (Shoji Kudaka)

Nago Castle Park is a hot spot for cherry blossom-viewing in the winter as thousands of visitors come to enjoy the pink blush flowers. Nago-dake, a mountain just at the back of the park, does not receive the same glory.

Enjoy a leisurely hike through the forested trails of the mountain and enjoy sweeping views of the coast. It is a perfect getaway!
