Last weekend we headed up north to the Nakijin Castle Ruins to see the Cherry Blossoms that were just starting to bloom. The castle was once the residence of the Ryukyuan Kingdom governor. It was built in the late 13th century, and it was strategically placed on this hill that was well defended by natural features.
The boys had the most fun climbing up and down the steep hills around the castle ruins!
In Japan, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and beauty of life!!
We ended this beautiful day with Cherry ice cream! It was so good!
