Each year, Aichi's Souri Pond hosts a plum blossom festival to celebrate the impressive 6000 plum trees in 25 different varieties found on the grounds here. They have been planted in such a way that there are early, mid, and late-blooming types, allowing visitors to enjoy their beauty for a longer timeframe.
Admission to the event is free of charge.
Getting there
Souri Pond is located approximately 10 minutes by taxi from Nagaura Station, which is served by the Meitetsu Tokoname Line.
For those who opt to drive, the venue is around 30 minutes from the central Nagoya area, and on-site parking is available.
