In 1942, 10,000 plum trees were planted on an area of 30,000 tsubo (about 1.5 acres), and the Ryo-ran Juku was built next to the trees. Riran Juku was built to promote friendship between Japan and Manchukuo. On the 165,000-square-meter site that stretches on the east side of Mt. Mifune, 10,000 plum trees, called “10,000 at a glance,” bloom beautifully from mid-February to early March. During this period, a teahouse will be open, and its specialty, ume-no-hana mochi (plum blossom rice cakes), are very popular.
In late May, an event called “Ume~Land” is held, attracting many visitors to pick plums.
