#parksandgardens We weren't aware that the wisteria at Ashikaga Flower Park would be in season as our main plan was to visit Hitachi Park for the blue flowers. However, we learned about the wisteria season later and felt lucky to have the chance to see it as well. The lush wisteria of white and purple shades drape and hang beautifully from the wooden trellises, its fragrance so wonderfully nice and sweet. We were incredibly happy with the visit and left the park feeling blissful. #100waysoftravel #myhiddengems #ashikagaflowerpark #wisteria #spring

We really had a great time visited several Parks in Japan, namely Goryokaku Park, Hitachi Seaside Park, Ashikaga Flower Park which offerred extensive varieties of flowers. We love the special emotions being surrounded by flowers. Flowers made us feel good, happy and in love. Flowers are sunshine, food and medicine to our souls. Every flower blooms in its own time just like we all grow and bloom at our own pace. And, life is beautiful.

The largest wisteria garden in Japan, the Ashikaga Flower Park has over 350 wisteria trees that bloom from April to May. The stunning flowers, which dangle from wooden trellises, come in a riot of colours including violet, blue, pink, white and yellow blossoms. The highlight of the park is definitely the magnificent 150-year-old wisteria tree in the centre of the park!

Ashikaga Flower Park is home to four large wisteria trees (three Nodakushaku wisteria and one double black dragon wisteria) and an 80m-long white wisteria tunnel, which are designated as natural monuments of Tochigi Prefecture. The best time to see them is from mid-April to mid-May.

I went to the annual Ashikaga Flower Park☺️🏎💭 . Perhaps because the state of emergency had already been lifted, it was crowded with many tourists, but the park is large, so it was good that social distancing could be relatively well maintained🤔💕 . As usual, I was soothed by the beautiful illuminations. ✨ . You can enjoy it even outside of the Christmas season, so please come and visit👍🏻 . #Breathtakingview #Tochigi #AshikagaFlowerPark #Illuminations #ThemePark #PhotogenicSpot

It is famous for its wisteria and illuminations. The wisteria is attractive both during the day and at night when it is lit up, so I recommend you to see both. The flowers are so well-maintained that you won't see any withered flowers. How can they make the flowers bloom so beautifully? The flowers are also perfect and well-formed. Perhaps because of such care, the winter illuminations are also very beautiful. You can now get there by train, so you don't have to worry about parking and it's easy to go.

On the third day of the trip (May 10, 2017), we continued our flower viewing trip, and the destination for the day was Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi Prefecture. The Shinkansen train left Tokyo Station at 9:16 a.m. on time and arrived at Oyama Station at around 9:58 a.m., a journey of about 42 minutes. At Oyama Station, transfer to the JR Ryomo Line local train bound for Tomita Station. The journey takes about 40 minutes. The fare from Tokyo Station to Tomita Station is 3,990 yen (about HK$280) if you do not have the JR Tokyo Wide Pass. Ashikaga Flower Park is about a 15-minute walk from Tomita Station. The admission fee to the park varies depending on the blooming conditions in the park, with a minimum of 300 yen and a maximum of 1,700 yen. The admission fee on the day Waffle and his mother visited was 1,600 yen (about 115 yuan), which means that the flowers in the park were in full bloom. The beautiful wisteria flowers have made Ashikaga Flower Park one of the top ten dream tourist attractions in the world by CNN in the United States. It is the only attraction in Japan selected. There are many dining options in the park, including ramen, dumplings, skewers and barbecue. Waffles and my mother had the flat and wide soup udon (650 yen/about HK$45), which had a smooth texture and was very delicious. The 80-meter-long white wisteria tunnel and four large wisteria trees are both natural monuments of Tochigi Prefecture. They are of great historical value and need to be well protected. Yae Black Dragon Wisteria is a rare variety with a particularly elegant shape, looking a bit like grapes. The park is larger than I expected, and there are more flower species than I expected. The lupines are so beautiful! Wisteria is so beautiful that the photo cannot fully reflect its beauty. When I came to Ashikaga Flower Park during the Great Wisteria Festival, I had to try the wisteria-flavored soft serve ice cream (400 yen/about HK$28). The light purple color was beautiful, and the flavor of the wisteria was fresh and natural, which was very easy to accept. I thought it tasted a bit like Earl Grey tea. Before leaving Ashikaga Flower Park, walk into the souvenir shop, where there are many wisteria-themed souvenirs, including cookies and noodles, as well as Tochigi-exclusive Hello Kitty products. #Overseas Travel#Flower Viewing Tips

The park is very large, and there are wisteria photos illuminated at night, which is worth coming from afar to experience. The park recommends coming at 4 pm so that it won't be too hot, and you can keep shooting until the evening. Many photography players love to shoot wisteria photos illuminated at night, which is a different kind of beauty. There is a wisteria tree that spreads over an area of ​​20 meters, which is spectacular. I really didn't know that wisteria could stretch that far. I was very happy to see a small one outside. It is really worth coming here.

💰Average Price per Person: Aud.110 Depending the package tour. Before visiting the seaside park, make sure to check the season of the flowers.
