At the Ogose Plum Grove, a photograph capturing the feeling of "plum blossom petals beautiful with translucent light."

This photograph captures the sunlight shining through the underside of a plum blossom petal, highlighting the delicate texture of the petals as light passes through the flower. Ogose Plum Grove is renowned as one of the premier plum blossom viewing spots in the Kanto region, where approximately 1,000 plum trees bloom magnificently each spring. The landscape, filled with white and pink plum blossoms, makes for a picturesque scene no matter where you frame it. The contrast with the blue sky on a clear day is especially beautiful, making it ideal for photography. The garden also features many ancient trees, and the atmospheric scenery created by these dignified plum trees is another charm. Why not capture a photo that conveys the arrival of spring? Walk along the paths where the petals glisten in the sunlight and the fragrance of plum blossoms drifts through the air.
