Shuzenji Plum Grove, Izu's famous plum grove with approximately 1,000 red and white plum trees
Shuzenji Plum Grove is a famous plum grove spreading in the mountains of Izu, and is a recommended spot to enjoy the colors of the season earlier in early spring. Located in Izu City, about 1,000 red and white plum trees fill the park with a gentle fragrance. The best time to visit is from mid-February to early March, when you can quietly feel the arrival of spring with the deep pink red plum blossoms, dignified white plum blossoms, and subtle fragrance. The deep pink red plum blossoms, dignified white plum blossoms, and the subtle fragrance of ume make this a perfect place for those who want to enjoy the quiet arrival of spring in a relaxed atmosphere.
Key points for photography
The key points of photography were to take advantage of the three-dimensional effect of the plum grove spreading out on the slope of the Shuzenji Plum Grove, to compose the image by looking up from a low position to create a sense of openness with the blue sky over the flowers, to create a foreground with branches and flowers in the foreground, and to create depth with the layers of plum trees leading to the back of the grove. In the morning and evening, when the light is oblique or backlit, use the transparency of the petals to bring out a soft atmosphere while slightly compensating for exposure. Fuji in the distance.
