"I walk, I look out the window - flowers and the sky is blue, now there is a magnolia in your nose, then wisteria in your eye" - this is how Vladimir Mayakovsky described his impressions of the Crimea. On the Black Sea coast, this amazing flower was able to be cultivated relatively recently, China is considered its homeland. Today you can find yourself in a real "wisteria paradise" if you visit japanese flower park ashikagalocated in Tochigi prefecture on the island of Honshu. At the beginning of May, the peak of flowering is observed here, so curious tourists from all over the world come here!
The Japanese name for wisteria is "fuji". Experts suggest that etymologically it is associated with the name of Mount Fuji, which is rightfully considered the symbol of the land of the rising sun. Contemplation of beauty, tranquility and serenity, a deep philosophy of life - this is the whole of Japanese culture: “To climb to the top of the mountain, you need not multiply the speed by time, but persistence in calling - said a snail crawling to the top of Fujiyama” (Yuri Tuboltsev “Poem about snail and Fujiyama ").
Ashikaga Park has a huge variety of flowers: blue, white, pink wisterias, as well as yellow broom - everything is replete and creates a feeling of a real celebration of life! Among the attractions of the park is the century-old fuji tree, which forms a kind of "umbrella" of blue inflorescences, visitors are also surprised by the 80-meter tunnel of snow-white wisteria flowers, but another tunnel of yellow flowers will have to grow for several years to acquire the desired look!
In addition to wisteria, the park has a huge number of other flowers that pleases the eye. Here you can have a snack in one of the cozy restaurants, as well as look into shops selling seedlings and local products. The cost of visiting the park varies depending on the season, but the average cost of an adult ticket is about 100 yen.
