Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi, Japan, is home to more than 350 species of wisteria and other plants. To the Japanese, wisteria symbolizes love and beauty. Moreover, its longevity also represents immortality and victory.

These plants flower in a variety of colors such as purple, blue, white, pink and yellow. When they are in full bloom, the entire park turns into an enchanting paradise.

The giant tree becomes a fairy place when it’s time to bloom. The branches are supported by a mesh trellis stretching 600 m to form a beautiful flower umbrella. The vertical flowers hang down close to the ground and create a purplish-pink cloud that floats in the air.

When night falls, the custom lights illuminate the trees perfectly and make the scene even more dreamy. The beautiful flowers gently swayed in the wind right overhead, the scene like in a fairy tale is so beautiful and mysterious that it seems unreal.
