The Atami Plum Garden Autumn Leaves Festival will be held from Saturday, November 16, 2024 to Sunday, December 8, 2024.
Known as the earliest-blooming plum site in Japan, Atami Plum Garden is also a spot for autumn foliage.
About 380 maple trees line the garden, and thanks to the warm climate they often change color from late November into December, making this place sometimes called the latest autumn foliage in Japan.
Early-blooming plums begin to flower around mid-November, so you may see plum blossoms and autumn leaves at the same time.
During the festival there will be a footbath, a photo contest, jazz performances, illumination, and a wildflower moss-ball (kokedama) workshop, among other events.
Please take this opportunity to enjoy the red-hued Atami Plum Garden.
*On November 16 (Sat) and 17 (Sun), the Japan–Korea Gourmet Fair 2024 in Atami will also take place.*
