Atami Baien Plum Garden
熱海梅園
One of Japan's earliest-blooming plum gardens, where about 470 trees open in succession through winter. It also has some of the latest autumn foliage in the country.
Atami Baien opened in 1886. It has around 470 plum trees of about 60 varieties. The Plum Blossom Festival runs from early January to early March. It is one of the first plum gardens in Japan to bloom, and the grounds also feature a small waterfall, a foot bath, and a Korean-style garden. From late November to early December the maple leaves turn red, earning the garden the title “Japan's latest autumn foliage.” It is illuminated at night. During the Plum Blossom Festival, admission is about ¥300. At other times it is free. The garden is about a 10-minute walk from Kinomiya Station on the JR line.
