Yuki Shrine is a famous spot for weeping plums in TsuCity City, Mie Prefecture. Yuki Shrine is dedicated to Prince Munehiro Yuki, who served Emperor Go-Daigo and contributed to the establishment of the Kenmu Restoration.

When you enter the plum garden from the side of the shrine grounds, you will be greeted by beautiful plum blossoms from the entrance.

At the time of the photo shoot, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and we were able to enjoy the weeping plum blossoms in full bloom, which looked like a chandelier.

At Yuki Shrine, the plum branches are pruned at the best time to ensure that they produce many beautiful flowers.
The beautifully arranged plum blossoms are a sight to behold, and the contrast between the blue sky and the plum blossoms is stunning!

In the shrine grounds, there are approximately 300 weeping plum trees and 80 plum trees of 10 different types.

Among the bright colors of pink and red, this ``Yae Midori Shidare'' is a white plum filled with flowers. There were quite a few people taking commemorative photos in front of this.

Weeping plums are planted densely in the garden. Because the plums are close together, you can enjoy the contrast of colors.
Plum blossoms also attract white-eyes, making them a popular photographic subject.

Many people came early in the morning to take photos. Tourists from foreign countries also came to view the plum blossoms. The beauty of the plum blossoms at Yuki Shrine is so atmospheric that it impresses people from all over the world.
