Do you know Kairakuen? Kairakuen is known for one of the famous sightseeing site for plum blossoms and cherry blossoms. It is called three big site(en) of Japan too.
I pay a visit there three years in succession. In the last time visiting, it was so early that I couldn't enjoy the blossoms. This time, I think it was good timing for seeing blossoms. Additionally, plum festival and the play of geisha girl were held there so it seemed the liveliest than I'v ever seen. I ate "umezukushi lunch" there.
The weather was perfect and blossoms was gorgrous. I enjoyed seeing them!
