The largest wisteria garden in Japan with over 350 wisteria trees in a park of 94,000 m². There are many visitors every year during the season of ‘Wisteria Story - Great Wisteria Festival’. The park is proud to have more than 350 blossoming wisteria such as the 150 year old great wisteria which is a Tochigi Prefecture designated natural treasure, the large wisteria trellis as big as 600 tatami mats with three wisteria trees, a unique wisteria with double blossoms and an 80 m long tunnel of white wisteria. Visitors can enjoy seasonal flowers throughout the year. Recently the park has been chosen and certified by night view appraisers as the best illumination display in Japan. The ‘Flower Garden of Lights’ illumination display is extremely popular.

This park is located outside Tokyo. Around 1.5 hour by train but it's easily accessible. You can get off at Ashikaga Station which is just right in front of the park. The park is not very big, but it's one of the most beautiful flower parks in the world with a lot of very pretty flowers all year round. The admission fee is around 900-1,800 yen per adult depending on the flowers on each day, but it's not expensive at all compared to the quality and what you will see in the park. It's just like a paradise and everything is so well-organized. There are clean toilets, restaurants/snack stalls, and nice sitting areas in all parts of the park. There is a huge souvenir shop and flower shop inside where you can buy all sorts of desserts and souvenirs and items made from seasonal flowers and plants. Also they sell soft serve ice cream made from Wisteria during the Wisteria season. In some seasons, they also light up the garden in the evening with separate entrance fee. I would recommend you check their website to see what flowers they have in each season before you decide to go. But it's really beautiful almost all year round. I have been there 4 times in different months and I have never been disappointed. You would need at least 2-3 hours to walk around the park and admire the beauty of all the flowers there. But I usually spend the whole day including walking around, relaxing by the flower bushes, having lunch & snacks and shopping in the souvenir shop.

We liked this place. It has nice views of the rushing gorge, really pretty hogs and lake. This is more of a 90min wall through a forest than a garden. This was the third best place to view autumn foliage in Nikko. It was nice because my daughter could run around as there was no one else at the park. We liked it a lot plus was nice as we didn’t have time to make it to lake. 1st best place to view autumnfoliage is the gardens below the shoyog-en garden then imperial villa then this place. You can view all three in one day and have a mid-day lunch break at the nearby pizza linne.

Well worth the drive up and back (approx 40 minutes in each direction). The drive itself is pleasant, particularly in autumn and the Park itself is quite special. Highly recommended and well worth the visit. Possible owing to its location it does not deserve the notariety it deserves. Beautifully designed and well worth every moment spent there.
