About this spot
Ashikaga Flower Park in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, is a flower paradise where you can enjoy seasonal blooms all year round. At the "Fuji no Hana Monogatari" (Wisteria Story) event held from mid-April to mid-May, the great wisteria trellis, spreading over 600 tatami mats (about 1,000 square meters), radiates overwhelming beauty, and you can enjoy a view so spectacular that CNN selected it as the only Japanese entry among the "10 Dream Travel Destinations in the World." The "Garden of Flowers of Light" illumination, held from autumn through winter, is certified as one of Japan's Three Great Illuminations, and the sight of more than 5 million lights decorating the park is spectacular. With photogenic spots everywhere, it is irresistible for couples on a date, girls' trips, and camera enthusiasts. The park is also barrier-free, so families and seniors can stroll with peace of mind. Why not feel the changing seasons with all five senses while tasting Tochigi's specialty "Fuji Soft" ice cream? With easy access from central Tokyo, it is ideal for a weekend short trip.
