Soga Plum Grove in Odawara offers a great opportunity to view some amazing plum blossoms for those who can't wait for cherry blossom season. Besides having hundreds of trees, the park offers a a few stand up shops and festival-style food. It's a great way to spend a clear day. Make sure to check out the plum candies and pickled goods! Parking can be a bit of a hassle, so getting there as early as possible is best. Also, anticipate some walking (it is essentially a big field), so make sure to wear some outdoorsy shoes.
