Izu 2015 to see the earliest plum blossoms in Japan 1/2

Atami Baien, One of the great plum blossoms park

Before I went to Italy, I also had a one night trip to Izu 😛

My target was plum blossoms !
Atami have plum trees park that is named ”Atami Baien” blooming the earliest in Japan.
(Baien means plum trees garden)

I can go there from Chiba about three hours or so by local train.

Its name have “Atami”, but if you go there by foot, Kinomiya station is the best. So, we got off at Kinomiya station.
And also you can go there by bus from Atami station.

日本で一番早く梅が咲く場所、熱海梅園に行くため、来宮駅で下車。

Anyway, we felt hungry and we had breakfast before going to Atami baien.

Though Atami Baien is opposite area, I wanted to try this cafe for a long time.

Here, Bonnet.

熱海梅園とは反対方向ですが、こちらで朝食～

This kissaten had cozy atmosphere. We felt an old and Showa era smells 🙂

ちょっと古い感じのとても雰囲気の良い喫茶店。

I ordered a hamburger set (ハンバーガーセット, 800 yen)

とりあえずコーヒーと･･･。

The waitress poured coffee into the cup in front of us. The flavor was good 🙂

This kissaten’s specialty ! Hamburger !!!

こちらの名物ハンバーガー！

普通のパンにハンバーグや野菜を挟んだ感じ。ハンバーガーの原形的な(*´д｀*)

It is smaller hamburger and not American taste.
It seemed hamburger steak and vegetables sandwiched with ordinary soft breads.
The origin of humburger might be like this.
By the way, a man ordered two hamburgers.

I know. If you want to be full as meal, this one humburger is not enough.

And then we went to Atami Baien (Atami Plum Garden).

Only 40% of their plum blossoms were in bloom, but we could enjoy seeing plum blossoms because there were so large number of trees 🙂

We enjoyed early Spring 🙂
After that we went to Izu Atagawa station.
Yes. We stayed at Onsen district 🙂
