We went by car during Golden Week. The mountain path leading to Kawachi Fuji Garden is technically a two-way road, but it's a fairly challenging mountain path. There are places on mountain roads where you need to be careful when passing other cars. The wisteria garden is in the mountains. I registered for entry at 4 PM, but the temperature felt 3 to 5 degrees Celsius lower than in the lowlands. I think it would be good to bring a jacket or something to wear over your clothes. There are staff members everywhere, from parking lot directions to service counters, so you won't get lost or confused about where things are. It's a very beautiful place, so take lots of pictures with your family and friends. When you look at the photos you took today in your camera roll before going to bed at night and see them surrounded by the mysterious purple of the wisteria, you'll surely feel that it was a truly precious time.
I just visited the wisteria gardens during the first week of May, and it was absolutely breathtaking! The displays are in full bloom around may, offering endless photo opportunities. If you’re planning to go, make sure to book your tickets online in advance to secure a spot. I believe they close around mid-May, so definitely check the dates but well worth the effort to go before the season ends!
I would go again but loads of bees, if your bringing children keep this in mind if they are scared of them.
The hanging gardens of wisteria in Kita-kyushu. A little out of the way but is a must see. Wisteria species of different colours overwhelm your visual and olfactory senses. It is absolutely stunning but because of the large number of busy bees harvesting wisteria nectar. Great photo spot. Tickets can only be bought online so ensure your local data is working or prebuy before your visit.
Currently, the wisteria are in the early stages of blooming, but the view is already spectacular. Since the colors should become more vivid toward next week, it will be the perfect time for visitors.
Its my first time to visit this flower farm. It was a rainy day on May 3,2026 but It was still a great experience for me to see and experience this beautiful place. I bought 1 ticket in advance at convenience store and for my son it was free admission is free until 12 years old. We were able to see different colors from purple,white and pink. It was totally full-bloomed. This flower blooms for a short span from April and May very limited so to those interested to visit this place check the peek season of this flower. You will be surprised how Japanese people managed to designed and raised this beautiful flower for us to see. 🥰😘😍
