This event is held every year from early February to mid-March in the Yugawara Plum Grove (Makuyama Park). On the foot slope of "Makuyama" where magnificent natural scenery can be seen throughout the four seasons, approximately 4,000 red and white plum trees bloom like a carpet of plum blossoms, and fill the park with the fragrance of plum blossoms, allowing you to enjoy a "plum blossom banquet".
