This is the only place where you can see weeping plum blossoms in full bloom with the Suzuka foothills as a backdrop!
The Suzuka Forest Garden, managed by the Akatsuka Botanical Garden, aims to preserve and spread the technique of making weeping plums, which is one of Japan's traditional gardening culture, and focuses on the double-flowering variety of weeping plums, ``Kurehashidare.'' We are working on research cultivation.
This is a plum garden where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Japan in early spring, the weeping plum tree with its large pink flowers created by the skill of Japanese craftsmen.
