Hello steemians!
I am RYO!


This post is a continuation of the previous "Robai" trip!

All of these yellow flowers are "Robai"!
Robai is similar to plum but a different kind.
And blooms a little earlier than plums

And these flowers are plums!↓

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/dbb3fdba56ff2661800e0dd4070de6ed08fbb21d.jpg)

There are various colors such as light pink, near red, and white

This plum is like a cherry blossom!

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/7307f7932e3c6d0352085bdb3ffe9e58f5b1c2b5.jpg)

Very beautiful!😃

This place has great features.
The reason is that here there are the most plum varieties in the Kanto(east-central) area!

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/d2ede11c3c2088dffbbcf45e6d10d0547cc1a58d.jpg)

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/b781e4981e84d72709d5ffd84d9f10681a5fc39a.jpg)

There are more than 170 types of plums in this place!
And there are 470 plums!

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/7334687b615f55b51cd17715ed9ffd6c58ba0845.jpg)

When I went there, more than 60% of the plums had not bloomed yet.
That's why I shoot only blooming plums

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/aa88cd569ecb6897f88fa0b5aad7fc9ee1b5bb8c.jpg)

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/d807180e50594799bfd3c41eb1f7f15419b8ee67.jpg)

The name of the red plum is "Kobai".
it meaning is "red plum"

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/a9b691a566673ea201d7e77d6dd88f6569fb9d18.jpg)

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/6af2af381fa09aa3e31e2ca706fb729adf207e91.jpg)

↑↓I thought this plum was particularly beautiful!
It’s really like a cherry tree, but it’s a plum

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/ce8872f4538d0f391a4f420cfc20774ba9d7da3c.jpg)

This is the name of this plum variety…"Ko-toji"↓

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/6ae16cc4d74b446f3448b88d431c6ba8049c32af.jpg)

↑I think the meaning of "Ko-tojii" is the red plum that blooms a little earlier↓

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/775c3990eeadff6f8942db5f6d916e59647cc072.jpg)

Certainly it blooms in full bloom earlier than other plums

![](https://d1vof77qrk4l5q.cloudfront.net/img/f6eef411a25ab0c533831a3a57c2d41bcd06dd0b.jpg)

Beautiful, Ko-toji!

↑↓It is the whole picture of this plum field.
Really beautiful when in full bloom

Chichibu-shrine is famous for its big festivals. 
It seems to have become even more famous for the anime "Anohana"↓
(This is a poster for Chichibu-shrine festival)

But I have never seen this anime yet...😅
But I'm glad that Chichibu's appeal spreads because Chichibu is in my prefecture!

I enjoyed this wonderful trip to Chichibu again!

Thank you for reading!
Arigatougozaimashita!
