Koshigaya Bairin Park

The park extends across 20,000 square meters with 300 plum trees representing 40 different varieties, creating a floral landscape in Saitama Prefecture.

Following the decline of peach cultivation in the 1950s, the area transformed into plum orchards until urban development led to the park's establishment in 1988.

The annual plum festival in early March features traditional tea ceremonies, sweet rice wine tastings, and flower vendors gathering under blooming branches.

Visitors can reach the park through a 20-minute walk from Kitakoshigaya Station, with parking spaces available and wheelchair-accessible paths throughout the grounds.

The park maintains a special plum tree demonstration garden containing 66 trees of 33 distinct varieties, allowing visitors to study different plum species.
