Ashikaga Flower Park, Japan
From series “Top 16 Most Unusual and Original Parks and Gardens”
Those who love to enjoy the beauty of exotic flowers beyond everything else, are sure to like Ashikaga Park. It’s located in the city of the same name, in Japan. The wonderful park is situated at the heart of the island of Honshu. Year-round, its territory is adorned by millions of fragrant flowers. The appearance of the park varies depending on the time of year. Between February and March, its guests can enjoy the flowering plum, daffodils, and tulips.
In April and May, the whole territory of the park is covered with rhododendrons and azaleas. In summer, it is decorated with dozens of species of many different flowers. Even in autumn, the park is fabulously beautiful, as at this time the saffron blooms. Experienced travelers advise to visit the Ashikaga Flower Park in May, when wisteria is in bloom. The age of these plants is more than a hundred years; they are closely interwoven with each other and form a fabulous tunnel of love. The park covers an area of more than 8 hectares. That scale is more than worthy for long leisurely walks.
