The Ogose Ume Matsuri is a festival held every year from late February to late March at a plum grove in the Iruma district of Saitama Prefecture. Ogose Plum Blossom Park is counted among the top three plum groves in the Kanto region (the other two are Mito Kairakuen and Atami Baien), and it is said to have originated from trees planted when the shrine dedicated to the soul of Sugawara no Michizane was moved from Dazaifu in Kyushu. Visitors can enjoy viewing more than 1,000 plum trees, with varieties such as red-blossomed kobai, white-blossomed shirakaga, and Ogose yabai, including ancient trees said to be more than 600 years old. There is also a miniature steam locomotive (1/10 scale model) that runs through the plum grove on a looping track 253 meters long (Please note that the days of operation are scheduled in advance). Folk entertainment events such as Japanese drum concerts and lion dances are also scheduled.
