The Yoshino Baigo Plum Festival in Ome City is taking place until the end of March. It features more than 1,000 plum trees displaying white and pink flowers, which makes it the largest plum festival in Tokyo. The closest station is Hinatawada on the Okutama line.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I recently went to Makuyama Park for the Plum Festival. It celebrates the blossom of the 4000 plum (ume) trees of the park. Here are more photos of the event.
Earlier this week, I went back to Yugawara. The goal was to get to to Makuyama Park and its 4000 plum trees, now in full bloom.
Mukojima-Hyakkaen Garden in Sumida City is the only surviving flower garden from the Edo Period in Tokyo. There currently is a plum festival to celebrate the blossoms of the many plum trees in the garden.
