Hello everyone.
I'm Teppi, a travel writer.
Today is the 24th spectacular view article !
I would like to introduce Atami Plum Garden, a fall foliage spot in Atami🤗
Even though it is a plum garden, it is a famous place for autumn leaves !?
Even though it is a "plum garden", is it a famous place for autumn leaves ?
That's weird…🤔
I'm sure many people thought so when they saw the headline📝
However, Atami Plum Garden is truly a famous spot for plum blossoms and autumn leaves !!!
The park opened in 1886📅
This is a historic garden that was opened for the purpose of recreation in the hot spring area of Atami♨
Atami Plum Garden is located about a 10-minute walk from Kinomiya Station on the JR Ito Line🚋
Kinomiya Station is one station next to Atami Station😄
What is unique about Atami Plum Garden is that the best time to see the autumn leaves is very late🍁
Most of the famous places in Japan where you can see the autumn leaves are at their best by November, but the best time to see the autumn leaves at Atami Plum Garden is in December !
In fact, the photo of autumn leaves that I am introducing this time was taken on December 5, 2020📸
The best time to see autumn leaves that year lasted until mid-December the following week😳
For this reason, Atami Plum Garden is said to be the place where you can see the latest autumn leaves in Japan📅
On the other hand, early-blooming plum varieties are in full bloom as soon as the new year begins, and Atami Plum Garden is known as the place where plums bloom first in Japan🤗
The plum festival is held every year from early January to early March🌼
Due to its warm climate, Atami Plum Garden can be enjoyed continuously in late autumn and early spring.
In addition to this, you can enjoy cherry blossoms called "Atami Sakura" in Atami as early as January🌸
And speaking of the fun of the autumn leaves season, it's the illumination of the maples like the one in the photo above !
Of course, maple illumination will also be held at Atami Plum Garden💡
In particular, the illumination of the autumn leaves around Chujo-Bridge and Soubi-Bridge in the park is truly beautiful✨
"The Atami Plum Garden Maple Festival" is held from mid-November to early December every year !
You can take a footbath during the festival period♨
There will also be lighting up of bamboo lanterns as shown in the photo above, so be sure to come and enjoy Atami's autumn to the fullest😊
