About this event
The festival is held at Kairakuen, one of Japan's three great gardens, which has about 3,000 plum trees of about 100 varieties, and at the Kodokan former domain school, which has about 800 trees, with events including outdoor tea ceremonies and a national umeshu festival during the season. The previous edition, the 130th, was held from 11 February to 22 March 2026, and the 2027 dates are not yet published, so the dates shown follow the same February to March window.
