1：The aroma of flowers throughout the park
You can already see small wisteria at the entrance.
It’ll get you excited to go inside!
As you enter the park, you’ll begin to see an abundance of beautiful flowers. Walking through, you’ll be able to smell the aroma of wisteria.
First, let’s take a look at Ofuji-dana. Designated as a natural monument, it’s the highlight of the park. Fuji-no-hana Monogatari is a festival held during the wisteria season, and you can view the Ofuji (large wisteria) in full bloom. The wisteria are also illuminated in the evening.
This is the the spectacular 1,000㎡ Ofuji!
They weren’t in full bloom when we visited, but it was still majestic!
There are only wisteria flowers in this park, but all of them are very unique. You can also see the great, Fuji-dana from the waiting room.
The wisteria flowers are suspended over a bridge called “Usu-beni-bashi”.
It was so beautiful to see Murasaki-fuji’s screen, or “the screen of purple wisteria”.
2：Wisteria soft ice cream! Please try it!
There are cute souvenir shops and restaurants in each area, where you can also view the beautiful scenery.
Today, I tried the Wisteria soft ice cream (390yen)!
It was my first time eating purple soft ice cream, and it was very delicious!
3：An ocean of different types of rosebay in bloom
There are more than 5,000 seasonal rosebay plants in the park.
There are more than 1,000 species of Rosebay around the world.
4：Other flowers also make the park beautiful
Along with wisteria and rosebay, you’ll also find a variety of other beautiful flowers that decorate the park.
The flower park is going to great lengths to create detailed and intricate displays of flowers.
5：Souvenirs that smell so good
They have interesting souvenirs that are sold exclusively in the store at the front entrance, and at other shops throughout the park.
For example, you can find bookmarks that imitate wisteria flowers, scarves dyed with wisteria, and air fresheners that smell like wisteria flowers.
You can see cactus and hydrangea flowers at the entrance. I’ve never seen cactus and hydrangea flowers during this season! Hydrangea flowers peak from June.
I’ve been to flower park several times, but this time was the best. It was very neatly organized and easy to relax. It also wasn’t very busy.
You can visit Ashikaga Flower Park by car or train in just 90 minutes from Tokyo, so please try to visit!
Don’t miss the 2,500 roses comprised of different 400 species in the rose garden this season!
