Ikegami Baien, Plum garden in Ikegami district, Tokyo, Japan.
Ikegami Baien is a garden containing roughly 370 plum trees and 800 azaleas positioned along multiple pathways and viewing areas. The paths wind through distinct zones, each offering different plantings and sightlines for visitors to explore.
The site began as the residence of a Nihonga painter before World War II and later passed into the hands of a ryotei owner. It became a public garden in 1978, transforming private land into a community space.
The two traditional tea rooms here offer visitors a chance to experience the Japanese tea ceremony and see how these customs remain part of daily practice today.
The garden is open during the daytime hours, though it closes on Mondays and during the New Year holiday period. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended since the paths wind through areas with varying elevation.
The garden's displays shine brightest from February to March, when roughly 30 plum varieties produce red and white blossoms. During this season, the flowering trees create natural patterns across the entire grounds.
