[Kitano Temmangu Shrine Ume Garden Opening]

The heavenly gods' opening of the ume garden, which brings spring to Kyoto

In the ume garden of Kitano Temmangu Shrine where the ume connected with Lord Michizane Sugawara grows, the early-blooming buds start to swell in around mid December, and the flowers continue to please the eyes of visitors until the end of March. The precincts are colored with the sacred tree of Lord Michizane's tobiume legend, "beniwakonbai"; and the rare "kuroume" species, as well as "omoi-no-mama" bearing both red and white flowers on a single tree. At the ume garden that opens in early February, you can enjoy some tea and sweets along with the aroma of the ume, and on the 25th of the same month, Baikasai and Baikasai Nodate Ochanoyu are held. Spend a graceful time admiring ume flowers in the land connected with Lord Michizane.
