About the tour

Spring is around the corner. From mid February in Tokyo, starting from plum blossoms, beautiful blossoms and fresh green leaves start to bloom one after another, as the air gradually warms up. Koganei is a quiet and beautiful city located in the western suburbs of Tokyo. Koganei park is well known for its cherry blossoms, but it also has a nice plum tree garden with various kinds of plum trees. In the slow and peaceful park, you can also enjoy the beautiful chirping of birds and soothing atmosphere of the early spring. Why don't you take a comfortable walk with YH and see the white and pink plum blossoms?
