- Description
- Located inside the villa of Iseya Kiemon, there were over 300 plum trees planted and it was very popular as a meisho (famous place) for ume plum trees. The ancient plum tree "Garyubai", which was shaped like a dragon crawling about the ground, was particularly famous, and was said to have been named by Mito Mitsukuni. Pickled ume plums were sold as souvenirs.
