Saga Plum Blossom Viewing Spot – Mifunegaoka Plum Grove

Posted on by nicklee

While Fukuoka Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine boasts beautiful plum blossoms,
the Mifunegaoka Plum Grove in Takeo, Saga Prefecture, is equally stunning.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great, and my photography skills aren’t the best, so please bear with me~

There’s a teahouse here. (It’s on the right-hand side as you enter; this photo was taken when I was leaving.)
