Cherry blossom

In Okinawa the JMA watches a Taiwan cherry (hikanzakura). The sample tree in Naha opens around 17 January and is in full bloom around 9 February in an average year (1991–2020). In 2026 it opened on 9 January and was in full bloom on 6 February.

Dates are for one sample tree at or near the JMA observatory, not for every park in the city.
