Plums that signal the arrival of spring. A gorgeous and beautiful view! As many as 4,000 plum trees of 100 types, which are said to be the largest in the Tokai area, are planted in Mie Prefecture. A truly picturesque landscape written with a mixture of white, light pink, and dark pink ingredients! First of all, it is recommended to see Umebayashi Park from the observatory.

When The East Wind Blows… Dazaifutenmangu Shrine With Rich Fragrance Of Plum BlossomsDazaifutenmangu
Dazaifutenmangu is a shrine sacred to a god Tenjin, Michizane Sugawara. When Michizane was degraded to Kyushu, he was compelled to composed a poem toward the plum tree standing at his residence in Kyoto. 'When the east wind blows, please send your fragrance, my plum blossoms, and don't forget spring though I'm not here.' Then a tradition says that the plum tree has flown to Fukuoka to chase him. Now, the legendary 'Flying Plum Tree (Tobi-ume)' is blooming with many white blossoms!
