One of the best plum-viewing areas in the country 🌸

February is the season when plums and Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom, giving a sense of spring.🌸 To enjoy this early spring, we will introduce plum spots in Mie Prefecture.😄 We will introduce the following four👇① Inabe City Plum Grove Park② Suzuka Forest Garden③ Yuki Shrine④ Taguchi Plum Grove (a hidden gem) We will also introduce the route from Nagoya Station and the required time in the second half! By the way, if you want to bring your dog, you can take him to any of the plum gardens! 🦮 ▪️4 recommended plum gardens in Mie---- [① Inabe City Plum Grove Park] The plum garden is spectacular when viewed from the observation deck! It is a place where it is so cold that it snows, so the best viewing time is later than other spots. The photo was taken on 3/4 last year, when the plums were still about 50% in bloom. The observation deck gets very crowded, so we recommend going first thing in the morning! ️ ・Address: 717 Kanae, Fujiwara-cho, Inabe-shi, Mie-ken Opening hours: 9:00-16:00 Fee: 500 yen ・Plum Festival: February 23rd-March 20th, 2024 The period will change depending on the flowering situation ・Expected best viewing time: Early March [②Suzuka Forest Garden] The sight of 200 plum trees, mainly weeping plums, is a sight to behold!
