Tour Overview
Ashikaga Flower Park is famously known for its Great Wisteria (Ofuji), a massive tree over 150 years old that spreads its branches to create a stunning canopy of hanging purple flowers covering over 1,000 square meters. The park features multiple wisteria tunnels, including unique white and yellow varieties.
Selected by CNN as one of the "Top 10 Dream Destinations" in the world, this park offers a surreal experience. We highly recommend visiting in the afternoon to see the flowers in daylight and staying for the magical evening illumination.
