Ume, or plum in Souri
Souri Ike, Chita City

I went to see ume blossoms in Souri Ike. When I approached the destination, cars and people marched in procession. It seemed a festival, in fact, 24th is the first day of the plum festival. The festival end on March 10.
Though there were still many buds, Souri Ume appeared attractive, commanding a beautiful pond.
