Pink cherry blossoms bloom against blue sky in Nago ahead of Sakura Suubu contest
January 5, 2022 Ryukyu Shimpo
Cherry blossoms are blooming at Nago Castle Park, a famous cherry blossom spot, and nearly in full bloom at one home in Agarie, Nago City.
The residence has previously won the Sakura Suubu, Agarie’s annual community contest to compare blooming cherry blossom flowers planted along the streets and at residential homes within the district.
The resident of the same home, a woman in her 50s, smiled and commented, “cherry blossoms bring us joy.” This year, judges of the Sakura Suubu will begin deliberations on January 10.
