Cherry Blossom Festival at Mt. Yaedake

Writer: JessieJessie

We went Sunday (February 4th 2018). They were in full bloom. There were a few food vendors at the top of the mountain and several little booths selling what looked to be oranges by the bundle. Best thing to do is drive slowly down the mountain and find wider spots in the road to pull over for pictures. There was a few little parking lots along the way as well. The trees at the very bottom and very top of the mountain were more bare than the ones along the road in between.

Free entry.

Would not suggest strollers although doable if you must.

Didn’t see any dogs but also didn’t see any signs saying no dogs.

The actual festival for 2018 was scheduled for Jan. 20th - Feb. 4th, 2018.



Looking up towards the top of the mountain from about a quarter of the way down.


Fast little birds called Mejiro (or Japanese white-eye).


Mejiro again.


Looking down the mountain this time.

About Me

My husband and I are currently stationed in Okinawa Japan and love traveling and exploring new places. Pet parents to a fat cat named Felix and a crazy boxer named Hades. We're currently expecting our first daughter, Mia, who we can't wait to show the world to. 

I love writing and taking way too many photos so I figured I would give this whole blog thing a shot. My goal is to back track everything we've done and seen here in Okinawa and our trip to Tokyo and then all our future trips as well. This is all new to me so bare with me while we get started with this whole experience. 

I would love to pass on all of our information of places we've explored, restaurants and cafes we've eaten at, and events we've attended all in one easy to navigate place!
