There are numerous places across Japan to enjoy the beauty of plum blossom season, and one of them is at the Ishibashi Cultural Center in Kurume City, Fukuoka. The grounds surrounding the venue are dotted with over 100 plum trees that bloom in reds and whites, creating some stunning scenery to herald spring's arrival.
This is enhanced at the Ishibashi Cultural Center Plum Concert, where attendees can appreciate music with the flowering trees as a backdrop. There will be two session times for the music performances on the day of the event – from 12:00-12:30 and from 14:30-15:00, and the best part of all is that they're free to attend!
If you're looking for a unique way to enjoy the picturesque plum blossoms, be sure to stop by if you're in the area.
