What makes it special
About Yudagawonsen Bairin Koen (Plum Grove Park)
- Late March Plum Festival: The peak season for red and white blossoms is the perfect time to experience the essence of a Japanese spring.
- Elevated Views: Enjoy a relaxing stroll while taking in the panoramic views of the hot spring town below.
- Traditional Tea Experience: During special events, you can enjoy the cultural experience of drinking matcha and eating sweets outdoors.
- Four Seasons of Beauty: Beyond the plums, the park offers beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, autumn leaves, and winter snow.
- Hot Spring Combination: Since the park is easily accessible from the hot spring town, we recommend visiting it in conjunction with a soak or a stay at a nearby ryokan.
