The Wisteria trees in Japan’s Tochigi prefecture are truly a sight to behold.

Located about 2 hours north of Tokyo, the Ashikaga Flower Park has beautiful trees that have become a major attraction for tourists from around the world.

The park features over 350 Wisteria trees, many of which are more than 100 years old and span up to 1,000 square meters.

The park is also home to Japan’s largest Wisteria tree, which measures over 1,000 square meters and is more than 150 years old and is the gorgeous star of the park.

The Wisteria trees at the Ashikaga Flower Park bloom from mid-April to mid-May, creating a stunning display of purple, pink, and white flowers that cascade down from the trees in large clusters.

During the peak season, the park is illuminated at night, creating a magical atmosphere that is truly unforgettable.
