Spring Magic at Sainokami no Fuji

#aprilblooms If you’re in Kyoto during spring and want to see something a little different, check out Sainokami no Fuji. This isn’t your typical weeping Noda wisteria — it’s a wild mountain wisteria, so it doesn’t drape down as much, but it’s just as stunning. The main vine is said to be over 2,000 years old (!) and is beautifully supported by a sturdy metal pergola. Across the road, there’s a small hill with benches where you can sit and enjoy a panoramic view of the blooming wisteria from above. Super peaceful and way less crowded than most touristy flower spots! Why You Should Visit: ✔ See a legendary 2,000-year-old wisteria in full bloom ✔ Great viewpoint with benches overlooking the wisteria canopy 📍Address: Shugakuin Yabusoe, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, 606-8052 #kyoto #japan #sainokaminofuji #wisteriainkyoto
