Wisteria Flower Festival in Ashikaga


Giant Wisteria Trellis in Ashikaga Flower Park

I visited Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi prefecture, where giant wisteria trellises were in full bloom. Also in full blossom were wisteria tunnels, wisteria screens, double wisteria flowers, and countless azalea trees.
CNN travel staff selected Ashikaga Flower Park as one of 10 "Dream Destinations for 2014 (click here to visit) ", being only one choice from Japan.

You can visit the park from mid April through mid May to enjoy this spectacle.

To get to Ashikaga Flower Park from Tokyo, take a train for one and a half hour, then walk for 15 minutes.

  1. I cherish stormy days. It helps me to remember hopping into puddles and playing with my companions in the downpour. As a grown-up, blustery days have turned into a kind of a reason for me to spruce up. All things considered, when's a superior time to look splendid and beautiful than on a dark day? What to look like a beam of daylight on the gloomiest day? http://www.mordocrosswords.com/2016/08/slickers-and-galoshes.html
