To add a bit of sparkle to the plum blossoms, head towards the towering Mt. Takao. The Takao Baigo Plum Village Festival is where natural beauty meets tradition.
What to expect
The Takao Plum Village has more than 10,000 plum trees, making it a perfect spot to see the delicate plum blossoms. At the Takao Baigo Plum Village Festival, you can take all the gorgeous plum blossom shots you want, as well as wander by food stalls, stamp rallies, and even traditional dances to set the mood.
How to get there
To get to the Takao Baigo Plum Village Festival, you’ll first need to head out towards Mt. Takao. The quickest way is to take the Keio Line from Shinjuku Station, all the way out to Takaosanguchi Station. The trip takes about 50 minutes and will set you back ¥430.
From the station, it’s a brisk 15-minute walk to the start of the Takao Plum Tree Village.
