Once you step inside the perennial world of Ashikaga Flower Park, you will be blissfully overwhelmed by the fresh healing fragrance of beautiful tantalizing flower displays. The tale of Fuji no Hana Festival, the blooming over 350 great Wisteria trees, one which is a natural treasure at over a 150 years of age with its impressive display, as you can view in the first photo of this post. Each spring myself and fellow photographers pilgrimage to such fabulous locations and are humbled at each and every natural heritage site. Ashikaga park it easily accessible for day trips from Tokyo; our journey is over a week long and takes us through the prefectures of Yamanashi-Kanagawa-Tokyo-Saitama-Gunma-Tochigi, to various events for flowering and birding it’s a great way to spend mid-spring with friends on a Private Japan Photo Tour.
