Okinawa Zoo & Museum

#沖繩櫻花 Cherry blossoms at a zoo? Yes! Okinawa Zoo & Museum in Okinawa City is an unexpected but delightful place to enjoy the sakura season. The park features a good number of cherry trees, which bloom in late January, adding a soft pink touch to the animal exhibits and museum areas. I found it refreshing to see the blossoms while exploring the zoo, making it a unique hanami experience. The zoo itself is home to a variety of animals, including elephants, monkeys, and tropical birds, making it a fun destination for families. The museum offers interesting educational exhibits about Okinawa’s natural history, adding to the experience. Unlike traditional cherry blossom parks, this spot offers multiple activities in one place, making it a great option if you want to combine hanami with a fun day out. If you’re traveling with kids or looking for a unique cherry blossom spot, this is worth visiting.
