Koshigaya Bairin Park

Koshigaya Bairin Park is an urban park in Saitama that spans a large area containing multiple plum tree varieties of different ages and cultivars. The trees are arranged throughout the grounds, with certain sections dedicated to demonstrating the range of plum species found in the garden.

The area was originally known for peach farming before shifting to plum cultivation in the 20th century. Its transformation into a public park happened later to preserve the agricultural heritage of the region.

The site hosts an annual plum blossom festival in March, where visitors witness traditional tea ceremonies and local vendors selling food and crafts beneath the flowering trees. This celebration brings together people wanting to experience both nature and local traditions.

The grounds feature paths that are accessible for different types of visitors, and parking is available on site. The park is located near train stations and is easy to reach by public transportation.

The site features a dedicated section with numerous plum varieties that allows visitors to study and compare the distinct characteristics of each type. This rare offering in urban settings draws both gardening enthusiasts and curious travelers.
