Ashikaga Flower Park is considered one of the best places in Japan to see wisteria, often compared to a “fairy-tale” landscape when the flowers are in full bloom.
The Great Wisteria Tree
The park’s centerpiece is the Great Wisteria Tree, which is over 150 years old. This ancient tree covers a vast area, creating a breathtaking “wisteria canopy” that draws visitors from around the world.
Wisteria Tunnels
One of the most beloved attractions in the park is the wisteria tunnel, where visitors can walk under a ceiling of cascading wisteria blossoms. The sight of the flowers overhead, combined with their sweet fragrance, makes it a mesmerizing experience.
Other Seasonal Flowers
While wisteria is the star attraction in spring, Ashikaga Flower Park is also known for its seasonal flower displays year-round, including roses, hydrangeas, and lilies, among others. However, the wisteria remains the highlight and symbol of the park, attracting the largest crowds during its bloom.
