Spring always comes with flowers... no doubt the most famous spring flower is Sakura,
but Ume(plum) is also so beautiful.
Ume starts to bloom from February, before Sakura blooms from late in March or early in April.
So, we can enjoy Ume blossoms first and then go to see Japan's symbolic flower "Sakura".
I visited mount Tsukuba again in early March to see Ume during Ume Matsuri(plum festival).
There are many famous Ume watching spot such as Japanese garden and mountain.
In Mt.Tsukuba, white, pink and red pretty Ume flowers are scattered beautifully.
