Go to Atami Shinsui Park.

Near the Umezono Branch in Atami Plum Garden

There are only six rare plum trees planted in the park.

White, pink, and marbled plum blossoms bloom on the same branch.

This variety of ume is a late blooming ume, so it can only be seen at this time of the year.

At the Atami Plum Garden, early, mid, and late blooming plums are intentionally planted so that they can be enjoyed at any time during the period.

Conversely, no matter what time of year you come, the plums as far as the eye can see will never be in full bloom.

Do not be discouraged if the early-blooming plum blossoms have already fallen, but go and see the precious plum blossoms that can only be seen now!
