A temple in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, has newly developed a plum garden that collects 250 weeping plums and opened it to the press on the 4th.
Mimuroto Temple in Uji City is known as the "Flower Temple" where you can enjoy seasonal flowers such as cherry blossoms and hydrangeas.
Recently, we have newly established a plum garden that collects 250 weeping plums on a site of 7,000 square meters.
As it is one of the largest plum gardens in Kansai, the sunny days were widening on the 4th, and colorful flowers such as red, white, and pink were in full bloom, and the faint scent of plum blossoms was spreading.
Also, since the temple is on a hill, you can enjoy the view overlooking the city with weeping plums.
Initially, the temple was scheduled to be open to the public from this month, but due to the influence of the new coronavirus, it will be canceled, and in the future, we will proceed with maintenance such as site maintenance and plum tree shavings for opening next year. ..
Mitsuyasu Itami, chief priest of Mimuroto Temple, said, "Originally, there were few tourists at this time, so I thought it would be a new attraction. I'm sorry I couldn't open this to the public, but many people will visit Uji next year. I want the tourists to get excited. "
