Come to Japan for May Day to See Wisteria Flowers if You Miss Cherry Blossoms 🟪



Are you planning to visit Japan in late April or during the May holiday?
Unfortunately, you'll miss the cherry blossoms 🌸
But besides cherry blossoms, Japan's wisteria flowers 🪻 are also a stunning sight 🥳
And their blooming period happens right after cherry blossom season ends
Their hanging flower clusters look like purple waterfalls with a sweet fragrance 🤩, perfect for photos!

Wisteria blooms annually from late April to early May.
The garden features "Miracle Falls" formed by wisteria trees over 160 years old. The flowering branches hang over a 1,000-square-meter trellis, creating a romantic purple waterfall overhead that makes you feel like you're in a dreamy, surreal world that will leave you in awe.
There's also wisteria-flavored ice cream with a refreshingly unique taste worth trying!
