Tsukigase Plum Grove

Ten thousand red and white plum trees stretch along the mountainside near Tsukigase Dam, creating an array of colors from February through March.

The plum trees trace their origins to a temple garden established during the Kamakura period, approximately 750 years ago in this region.

The grove received designation as a Place of Scenic Beauty, representing traditional Japanese appreciation for seasonal flowering trees and natural landscapes.

Visitors can reach the grove by taking a 15-minute taxi ride from Tsukigaseguchi Station on the Kansai Main Line or driving 4 kilometers from Satsukibashi IC.

The site includes 3,000 cherry trees alongside the plum groves, offering two distinct flowering periods in the same location throughout spring.
