Ogose Town in Saitama Prefecture is a representative and famous spot in the Kanto region for plum blossoms. Here, the Ogose Bairin Plum Blossom Festival will take place from around mid-February to late March 2026. About 1,000 plum trees bloom throughout the park in white, deep red, and pink, and their sweet fragrances mark the coming of early spring. During the event you can find local food stalls and stores, with plum themed events and mini steam locomotives to enjoy. You can also stroll under the plum blossoms and take pictures at this popular event. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of early spring in Japan.
