Wisteria: The Flower That Can be a Beautiful Flower Tunnel
As a beautiful flower and became the identity of Japan, sakura (cherry blossom) has always been the target of tourists. February to April is a cherry blossom moment.
But not many know, sakura is not the only beautiful flowers that spoil the eyes. Japan also has a wisteria flower, which when blooming is celebrated with the festival.
The Great Wisteria Festival takes place 15 April - 21 May every year at Ashikaga Flower Park, Tochigi Prefecture. Its location is not far from Tokyo, only one and a half hour road trip.
Wisteria is a type of hanging flowers with a variety of color gradations. Starting from the dark purple, purple, pink, to white.
When the Great Wisteria Festival takes place, tourists can walk under the wisteria flower tunnel. The type of wisteria flower in Ashikaga Flower Park is 150 years old.
At night, the tunnel is clad in a light that produces beautiful lighting.
In addition to Tochigi Prefecture, tourists who want to see the wisteria bloom can also visit Kawachi Wisteria Garden in Kitakyushu. The wisteria flower there blooms perfectly on April 22 - May 7, 2017.
