The Ashikaga Flower Park is only 2 hours from Tokyo, which is very easily accessible by public transportation, making it great for a day trip. There are two popular Wisteria gardens in Japan; Ashikaga Flower Park and Kawachi Fuji Garden – although the latter one is very far from Tokyo.
The Ashikaga Flower Park is not your usual Japanese garden. With a very fresh and lively vibe to the park with a vast array of flowers and seating locations, it’s a great way to spend the day with friends or family sauntering the garden. There are plenty of food stalls around, indeed overpriced, but worth the nibble regardless.
The park was extremely crowded – I cant really tell if it’s because of the peak full bloom season, Golden Week or both. Also, be open to queuing up for pretty much everything within the park.
This is so beautiful! I love flowers and I can only imagine walking through them like this. It looks amazing. (Adding this to my to-do list for when we visit Japan)
This is one of the most beautiful gardens i’ve ever seen. It seriously looks like something out of a fairy tale.
Oh my gosh, I would love to visit these gardens! I love looking at flowers and plants plus this would be a nice way to enjoy the outdoors. Amazing photos!
This is seriously one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. (in pictures) but I would really love to go there in real like. we had wisteria on our wedding arch when we got married and it was beautiful!
It sounds like a wonderful and recharging type of day. I am sure it was hard to pick the best pics because of the chance for so many beautiful shots.
Wow, both gardens are beautiful! What a fun day trip to take when the flowers are in bloom. I would definitely add this to my list of places to visit on a trip to Tokyo
Wow, both gardens looks so beautiful! Looks like you had a very fun day. Aalas the pics are so great. I would love to visit there when I visit Tokyo.
Wisteria is one of my favorite flowers. Where I live the purple variety grows wild and fills the air with the most wonderful floral scent. Love these photos so much.
OH WOW! that place is beautiful! Makes me want to go so bad. Also makes me want to pick out cute clothes for the kids and take them. Getting pictures of it all.
Honestly, I can’t decide what is more beautiful you or flowers. Japan is on my travel list as well.
Here in Serbia someone made a Japanese garden. My husband, my son who was then a baby and I traveled to the city to see it. He was so calm in there, and we all felt connected. But I would love to visit one real sometimes. 🙂 BEAUTIFUL!
Wow the place is awesome you bring me to the place that i wish to be with those beautiful flowers perfect., That is a wonderful experience .
The place is incredible, lot of flowers that would be full of life. As i kid I used always enjoy going the flower show held annually at Bangalore lalbaugh gardens, it used be really wonderful, as i was going through the post i was running down my memory lane 🙂 thanks.
Flower gardens are a must visit for me every time I travel. I haven’t been to Japan yet, but I would definitely make it a point to include the Ashikaga Flower Park in my itinerary. Those flowers are so beautiful!
