Ura-Takao is famous for its plum blossoms, and the “Takao Baigo Plum Festival” held at the beginning of March each year. The pink and white plum blossoms are a breathtaking sight.

Kogesawa Plum Grove is near the “Oshita” bus stop. From Takao Station, take a bus bound for “Kobotoke”.
From there, there is a tunnel on the Chuo Main Line near the bus stop, you can reach the groove by following the path next to the tunnel.

There is also a parking lot, but the road around here is very narrow, so it is recommended to use the bus from Takao Station’s north exit headed for “Kobotoke”.

Kogesawa Plum Grove is managed by Hachioji City and is only open during the plum season in March.
Specifically March 9 (Sat) to March 24 (Sun) from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm in 2019.

In Kogesawa Plum Grove, plums are planted on the slopes of the hill. A promenade runs through them so you can take a walk through the blossoms.
The lower, middle and upper courses are connected by stairs. You can walk all courses in about 30 minutes.
