Visitors are thronging to Genka, Nago in Okinawa Prefecture to see the charming white plum blossoms in full bloom along the road in the Ohshittai wetlands area.

 

The plum trees were planted by local residents. Spectators took pictures and expressed their delight at the plum blossoms floating and dancing in the breeze as they fluttered to the ground.

 

Shigemi Nakazato, 58, who visited from Nakijin Village with her family of five on January 16, gazed at the plum blossoms with a smile on her face, saying, “We came after h

earing about them on the radio.

 

Each time we come they are beautiful, their lovely scent wafts in the breeze, and I feel so happy watching them together with my family in the glow of the sun.”
