See the Fantastic and Beautiful Wisteria Flowers!

Ashikaga Flower Park is particularly famous for its wisteria flowers. Every year in spring, a beautiful wisteria tunnel is set up, with a length of over 80 meters, making you feel like you've wandered into a fantastic world when you pass through it. Additionally, the wisteria tunnel illuminated at night shows a beauty of a different world. Wisteria flowers can also be seen in various places such as flower beds and around ponds. In late May every year, the "Wisteria Story ~Great Wisteria Festival~" is held, further enhancing the beauty of the wisteria flowers. Why not visit the flower park and see the wisteria flowers, the main attraction of the park?

前々から来たかったのですが機会なくようやく来園出来ました。時期的にはメインの藤の花の季節ではなく入場料は800円でした。後で知ったのですが観光案内所などにあるチラシに100円引きの割引券があるので事前に入手すると少しお得になります。10月というのに快晴で気温30度近く、歩くのがとても辛く汗だくになり日陰を求めて給水しながら休み休みゆっくり回りました。ゆっくり回ると2時間ぐらい掛かります。途中でソフトクリームを堪能しましたが藤の花のソフトクリームがとても美味しくお勧めです。また違う季節に来たいと思いました。

2時過ぎに来園。3時からは入れ替えになりますのアナウンスでした。小雨で曇っていたためなのでしょうか、イルミネーションの点灯が始まっていました！いろいろなオブジェもきらきらの状態で、どなたもいらっしゃらないところで、撮り放題でした！大藤、蓮の池などは想像を膨らませて楽しみました！

昨年に見に行きましたが、かなり混雑していた記憶があります。藤の季節に行くのも良いですがイルミネーションもまた良いですね。料金は時期によって高くなったり安くなったりします。平日でしたが、駐車場は広くて特に並ばずに停められました。
