    Nice park during the sakura time, we get there just week before to start sakura. Theres a old train and you can jump in if you want. Good place to do picnic in a sunny day.

    Gifu Pref. Ampachigunampachichou Sotozenkou 3208
    "AnpachiHyakuBaien is a park located about a 15-minute drive from the Gifu-Hashima Interchange on the Meishin Expressway. The 3.9-hectare park contains more than 1200 plum trees of 100 different varieties, the largest number of varieties anywhere in Japan. It is open from late January to late March, so that visitors can see the early blooming winter red plum and the late-blooming Kaiun and Rinshi plums over a long period of time. From mid February to mid March, a sort of ""plum festival"" is held, with food booths featuring udon noodles, rice dumplings in a sweet teriyaki sauce, and bean jam desserts. Visitors can also buy fresh vegetables in Anpachi Town, processed agricultural products, and specialty items and view an exhibition of miniature bonsai plum trees."

    154種1200本以上の梅が楽しめる施設です、2月初めに訪れましたが数本の開花のみでした。それでも数組の来園者がありピーク時は結構な人手になるでしょうね。駐車場は無料ですが台数は多くないようです

  • Furuko-no-Kobai (Red plum blossoms)

    Gifu Gero-shi Osakacho Nagase
    A plum tree that's been designated as a natural monument by Gifu Prefecture. A rare double-blossomed red variety, it's one of the few large trees in the prefecture. Nine-meter-tall and with a trunk three meters in circumference, it's estimated to be 700 years old. It has been damaged several times over the years, and one of the branches has been repaired. The site gets packed with photographers with their tripods when it is in full bloom in mid-April and it's even more beautiful with its blossoms against snow-capped Mt. Ontake. It's just off the Osaka River's bike path, so lots of people stop by to view it while out for a ride or a hike.

Tucked away in the very center of Japan, Gifu prefecture houses mountains, old towns, and one of Japan’s greatest hot springs, Gero Onsen. A tour of the prefecture’s traditional architecture will take you from the mountain-enveloped wooden streets of Takayama to the mountain village of Shirakawago, where visitors can explore 250-year-old thatched roofed houses known as gassho-zukuri.
