Wisteria at Ashikaga Flower Park

Search out the top places to visit in Japan, and you’ll often find Ashikaga Flower Park on the list. For about one month each year, this park blooms with some of Japan’s most spectacular wisteria, a hanging flower that comes in various colors, most famously a violet pink. I had seen some wisteria in smaller parks before, but nothing that came close to this, each tree stunningly curated.
