Inabe Bairin Plum Grove

Inabe Bairin Plum Grove

いなべ市農業公園 梅林公園

Mie · Kansai

Inabe Bairin is the plum grove of Inabe Agricultural Park, laid out on terraced hillside in the Fujiwara district of northern Mie beneath the Suzuka range. It is one of the largest plum plantings in the Tokai region, combining a working fruit-plum orchard with an ornamental plum garden in landscape style. The wider agricultural park around it holds a 36-hole park-golf course, allotment plots and a buffet restaurant using local vegetables. The plums flower from late February to mid-March, when the grove is opened for a ticketed plum festival.

Why we picked it

Inabe is at the far north of Mie against the Gifu border, off every Ise and Nagoya route, and the grove is signposted almost entirely in Japanese.

Crowd level
Moderate
Admission
Admission is charged during the plum festival in late February and March: ¥500 for adults, free for elementary age and under, ¥400 for groups of twenty or more. Festival-period hours are 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
