Taura Plum Grove — Attraction in Yokosuka

Hiked up to the grove where 2,000 plum trees bloom each year in February into March. The grove is a famous plum-flower site that has been selected as one of the "100 places to enjoy flowers in Kanagawa." It’s the only forest of plum trees in the Miura Peninsula area.

The “Taura Plum Grove Festival” is held each year from the beginning of February until the beginning of March, attracting many visitors.

It’s best to take public transportation to the site but they do have one small parking lot that charges ¥1,000. After parking it’s still a 7 minute walk to the entrance. The entrance is on the right side and then walk over a small bridge. The trail has stair pavers and can be slippery when wet. You are led through a bamboo grove at the beginning...

Nice well maintained view to the top of the hill. The trees were not in bloom but we had a nice view and were the only people up there. Nice view of the area and I recommend this...
