Ume Blossom Festival is held in Tsukuba Bairin Park. There are thirty kinds and three thousands of ume trees (Japanese apricot tree) in the south side of the Mt. Tsuba. Tskuba Bairin Park was built in 1965. In a clear day, people can see the Mt. Fuji and multi-story buildings in Tokyo..
		Tsukuba Bairin Park is on the side of Mt. Tsukuba. It seems to be located around a white building at the center of two tops of Mt. Tsukuba. When you come from the Iwai-bashi Bridge, you will not pass this road(the Rinrin Road). This picture is just for explanation.
