In most years, the trees bloom from late March to mid-April, and the Rokkaku Plum Park Flower Festival is held from late March to early April. During the festival, local agricultural products and specialty products are sold and events are held such as small concerts and a pleasure boat tour.

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
