  • You can join traditional craft workshops and experience Japanese festivals here. These activities are a rare treat for travelers and really help you understand Fuchu City's culture better.

  • I really like places like this that have hands-on exhibits and lots of plum trees, almost like a park. After touring the museum, you can walk around outside and take photos. I suggest planning to spend half an afternoon here!

  • The old traditional houses are really unique. It's a great place for anyone who loves nature and history.

  • The flowers here are beautiful. The whole walkway is lined with blooming plum blossoms.

  • There are so many beautiful hydrangeas in the park, and the entrance fee is really cheap.
