Kataoka Bairin (Nara Park)

This famous destination for Japanese plum trees is located in Takabatake-cho, Nara City. Located in Nara Park, some 250 Japanese plum trees have been planted around the area of the Marumado-tei, a National Important Cultural Property-designated structure which was created by remodeling the storehouse of Kasugataisha Shrine. In most years, the plum trees bloom from late February to mid-March.
