Wisteria Tunnel in Japan is also Beautiful
Sakura (cherry blossom) is a beautiful flower and has become the identity of the State of Japan, and is always the target of tourists. February to April is the time for cherry blossoms. But not many know, Sakura is not the only beautiful flower that spoils the eye.
Japan also has wisteria flowers, which are celebrated with festivals when they bloom. The Great Wisteria Festival takes place April 15 - May 21 annually at Ashikaga Flower Park, Tochigi Prefecture. The location is not far from Tokyo, only one and a half hours by road. Japan-guide
The flower tunnel in the city of Kitakyushu Japan is very beautiful. There are more than 20 types of wisteria flowers that are deliberately planted to decorate the roof to the walls of the surrounding garden tunnel.
The tunnel is the part of the park that is the most popular with visitors. Usually they take pictures or just enjoy the atmosphere while walking under the shady wisteria clumps of soft purple color.
Kawachi Wisteria Park Fuji Garden is a garden located in southern Japan with an area of 3000 square meters. Although this flower is not the national flower in Japan, this flower has been growing in the plains of Japan since hundreds of years ago.
Wisteria is a type of hanging flower with various gradations of color. From light purple to dark purple to pink to white. When the Great Wisteria Festival takes place, tourists can walk under the wisteria flower tunnel. The type of wisteria that exists in Ashikaga Flower Park is 150 years old.
The wisteria tunnel garden in Japan was featured in March as one of the "31 most beautiful places in Japan" on the website of the US television network CNN and was used in the filming of a Thai TV drama. This wisteria tunnel garden has become a tourist attraction as the flowers bloom during the Golden Week holiday period.
The best time to visit Kawachi Park Fuji Garden is the end of April to mid-May. At that time, the wisteria flowers at Kawachi Fuji Park were usually in full bloom. And to celebrate the Fuji Matsuri or 'wisteria festival' is quite lively.
Its peak is usually in late April. It was Golden Week, the holiday season for Japanese school children. But if you mistakenly visit the place in April to May, you will not see the flowers bloom. There were only trees and twigs with drooping leaves, for the wisteria blooming season was over.
Japan, has experienced a surge in the number of tourists who visit after the many reports about this park in various media outside Japan. In fact, to enter this park, visitors have to buy tickets which are available at various convenience stores. As a result, from April 23 to May 8 when the flowers are scheduled to bloom, this wisteria tunnel garden in Japan will limit its visitor numbers for the first time since it opened in 1977.
