Charms and Highlights of Kinoshitazawa Plum Grove (Takao Plum Village)
The Kinoshitazawa Plum Grove (Takao Plum Village) is a beautiful plum grove spreading out in the mountains of Takao. In spring, plum blossoms, mainly white plum blossoms, fill the mountain slopes, making it a recommended spot to enjoy the peaceful scenery spreading out in the midst of nature. The neat rows of plum trees and the view of the plum grove spreading out on the mountain slope are very worth seeing, and visitors can take their time while strolling and admiring the plum blossoms. The plum grove is usually open to the public for a limited time in March, and visitors can enjoy viewing the plum blossoms while feeling the arrival of spring in the quiet atmosphere of the mountain village.
Key points for photography
The point of photographing the Kinoshitazawa Plum Grove is to capture the beauty of the spread of the plum grove and the regular line of trees by photographing the entire slope from a short distance away, since plum trees are neatly arranged on the mountain slope. In the morning, light shines on the mountain slope and the plum blossoms appear bright, so if you are conscious of the contrast between light and shadow, you can create an impressive photograph. In addition, a telephoto lens can compress the plum trees lining the slopes to show a powerful view of the plum blossoms blooming densely together.
