This photo was taken one year ago on February 19. It was near the end of bloom, and I was running hard to find the living cherry blossoms. It was raining at that time, so it was hard to take pictures. This year, it seems to be blooming from the beginning of January. In Okinawa, cherry blossoms bloom in winter, and when cherry blossoms are needed, they are already scattered and become just trees. I wish it would bloom around April lol.

It's already late to see the cherry blossoms in Okinawa in March. It doesn't flutter, but it's dark pink and cute. By the way, this was taken on 2/19. It was almost over.

I ate Miyako bonito soba on Irabu Island in Miyako. I love Okinawa soba in Uchinanchu, but I'm not good at three pieces of meat and soki, so this soba was ♡ a happy combination. I like the soup lightly, but I was surprised that it was a little miso-flavored.

In a while... I took a walk on the road to school when I was in junior high school. There are various varieties available, but the original hibi is good. In Okinawa, even if you walk around a private house, it blooms like a weed.

At Sunset Beach. No matter how many times you look at it, you will be impressed. Sunsets are not essential for living, but I am grateful that they made it possible for people to be impressed.

I took a picture of Manzamo that I went to with my family. Although it is a famous spot in Okinawa, it was my first time to go there, so I was drawn in by the wide and deep blue color. Even Okinawans wanted to watch it for a long time.
