Kawachi Wisteria Garden ( Kawachi
Fujien) is a private garden in the wood-
ed hills south of central Kitakyushu,
famous for its spectacularly presented,
large numbers of wisteria fl owers. The
garden is opened to the public season-
ally during the wisteria season which
usually peaks around late April to early
May and during the maple leaf season
in autumn.
The garden’s most prominent features
are two, roughly 100 meter long tun-
nels made of wisteria trees of diff ering
varieties and colors, ranging from white
to dark purple. Furthermore, there is a
collection of large wisteria trees that
together form an enormous roof of
drooping fl owers. A viewpoint at the
top of the hillside garden allows for
nice views over the sea of wisteria fl ow-
ers and the surrounding valley which is
also know for its bamboo groves.
Kawachi Wisteria Garden has grown
very popular in recent years and now
attracts large numbers of visitors.
