Ashikaga Flower Park Celebrates Japan's Other Major Spring Flowers
PrZen/33502619
Its "Wisteria Stories" Event Showcases 350 Wisteria Trees and 5,000 Azaela Bushes Blooming Mid-April to Mid-May.
ASHIKAGA, Japan - PrZen -- If you couldn't make the 2023 arrival of Japan's cherry blossoms – which reached full bloom in Tokyo on March 22, 2023, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, never fret. There are plenty of spectacular spring flowers, within an easy day trip from Tokyo, to impress you with their beauty and make you grateful that you conveniently missed the sakura crowds.
Ashikaga Flower Park is famous for its 350 magnificent "Fuji" or Wisteria trees and more than 5,000 azaleas. The 23-acre facility attracts more than 1.5 million visitors per year but is most beckoning during its "Wisteria Stories" event (https://www.ashikaga.co.jp/fujinohana_special2023/en/). Held between April 15 (Sun) and May 14 (Sun), the event highlights the blooming of the Park's mega-wisteria tree. Occupying 11,780 square feet, it is the symbol of the park itself. There is also a 263-foot white Shiro Fuji wisteria archway "tunnel," a designated prefectural natural monument. Wisteria flowers begin to bloom in the order of pink, purple, white, and yellow, and can be enjoyed for a month.
Wisteria claim a long and beloved history in Japan, where they were even featured in
8th Century Man'yōshū poem collection -- Japan's oldest known compendium of poems. Today they remain a jewel, and in 2014 they were featured as one of CNN's "Dream
Destinations." During the festival period, the lights will be illuminated at night. You can
view the movie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmEICrVyNzo!
Also, at Ashikaga Flower Park, roses, irises, hydrangeas, and water lilies bloom after wisteria. It is truly a flower lover's heaven.
