Taste the fragrance of plum blossoms at Soga Plum Grove and the scenery with Mt.
The Soga Plum Grove is one of the best places in the Kanto region for photographing the beautiful plum blossoms that bloom each year. The spacious ume grove is lined with red and white plum blossoms, and the view of flowers stretching as far as the eye can see is a magnet for visitors. On a clear day, visitors can take pictures of ume blossoms against the backdrop of Mt. Early in the morning and at dusk, soft light envelops the flowers, creating a magical and serene atmosphere. The park is also equipped with walking paths, so visitors can enjoy taking pictures while smelling the fragrance of ume blossoms.
Key points for photography
The key to taking pictures is to compose your shots with an eye to the position from which you can see Mt. Fuji over the branches of the ume trees on a clear day to create a photo with depth. Selecting soft light in the early morning or evening will help bring out the natural colors of the ume plum blossoms and give them a three-dimensional appearance. Aiming for a time of day when there are few people around is another trick to taking a calm picture that is typical of the Soga Plum Grove.
