During this time of year, the park opens at 7:00, by the time we got there at 8:15-ish, there were already quite a number of people there.
And were replanted here at the park 30 years ago when they were 130 years old!
The branches reach out so far that everyone can walk
underneath the wisteria that is dangling down
I overheard some people talking and they said the wisteria were not as "long" as in the past, must be due to global warming, we were still amazed to see this
There was also a white wisteria tunnel, this wasn't in full bloom as the purple variety
Because this is a flower park, there are all sorts of other flowers too
One of my favorite shots
The azalea were also in full bloom
Lots of places to sit too
An area called "ocean of azalea" was amazing to walk through
Satoshi had wisteria soft serve 500 yen (tax included), Kat had their sundae 650 yen (tax included)...to be honest, I don't know what wisteria would taste like, but the items in the sundae tasted more like lavender, especially that popcorn on the top.
Plus, there was almond tofu, wisteria gelee cubes, strawberries & pineapple in there too, the flavors were kinda all over the place...we were just thankful a grandma let us sit with her while we ate our desserts, it was also nice to sit and look at the flowers.
Like this one that I had put into my IG reel...
Bucket list item checked...we were super happy the weather was cooperative and that we were able to see this.
Admission was 2300 yen (tax included) per person

I guess I'd have to book a hotel nearby. Getting up at 4:30 ! I mean I get up at that time everyday but it takes me almost 2 hrs to put my face on. LOL
My mom used to have a bunch of azalea growing in front of our house in Maunawili and people would stop to take pictures when they were in full bloom. Just had the thought that if they bloom at the same time, she should have planted wisteria too! She did have a bunch of hydrangea but they never did full bloom like the azalea or what you see in pictures.

V, dunno if wisteria is able to grow in Hawaii, but it would have been cool if it did :) Take care, Kat
