[Chichibu] Enjoy wintersweet and plum blossoms at Mt. Hodo 🌸

#FreeHongKongAirTickets I went to Mt. Hodo in Nagatoro, Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture ✨ When I took the ropeway to the top of the mountain, I was greeted by wintersweet and plum blossoms, which are in full bloom right now 🚠 The yellow wintersweet and the pink and white plum blossoms were beautiful and it was a wonderful place 💓 Mt. Hodo is said to be one of the largest wintersweet gardens in the Kanto region! About 3,000 wintersweet trees are planted on a site of about 15,000 m2 😳 The flowering season is from late December to early March! Also, at Mt. Hodo's Ume Hyakukaen Garden, about 470 plum trees of 170 varieties are planted 🌸 The best time to see them is from early February to late March!
