Ashikaga Flower Park: Flower Fantasy 2026 Dates TBA

あしかがフラワーパーク 光の花の庭 — Ashikaga, Tochigi (Kanto)

Ranked among the world's top illuminations by CNN, Ashikaga Flower Park recreates its famous wisteria in light form alongside roses, water reflections and seasonal flower motifs across roughly 4.5 million LEDs.

Background

The park is renowned for a real wisteria tree over a century old that draws crowds each spring; its winter light show translates that same flower theme into an illumination that has run every year since the early 2010s and grown into one of the most-visited in the Kanto region.

Getting there

A 3-minute walk from Ashikaga Flower Park Station on the JR Ryomo Line, a request stop timed to the illumination and wisteria seasons.

Tips

• The 'Great Wisteria' recreated in lights over the pond is the park's signature shot, best seen from the bridge just past the entrance.
• The display is divided into themed chapters across the season (roses, a castle of light, flower fireworks), so the look changes noticeably if you visit more than once.
