Tsukuba Plum Grove One of the best plum blossom viewing spots in the Kanto area from a hill
Tsukuba is one of the most famous plum groves in the Kanto area, located halfway up Mt. Tsukuba, with approximately 1,000 red and white plum trees in full bloom. It is a recommended sightseeing spot in spring, where visitors can enjoy the spectacular view of the plum grove spreading out as if looking down from a hill and the panoramic view to the Kanto Plain.
Key points for photography
The key points of photography are to express a sense of scale by composing a shot looking down on the plum grove spreading out from a hill, to emphasize depth by using a telephoto lens to draw in the dense plum blossoms with a compression effect, and to be aware of the color contrast between the red and white plum blossoms and the combination of rocks and plum trees.
