About four hours from Tokyo, in the small city of Kitakyushu, lies a piece of paradise — the Kawachi Fuji Garden, whose most famous attraction is the breathtaking Wisteria Tunnel.

The Japanese call wisteria “Fuji” and consider it a symbol of love. It is one of the most beautiful climbing plants in the world, with delicate cascading clusters of blossoms in soft, dreamy shades. Reaching heights of up to 15 meters, the wisteria vines have been trained to form a spectacular floral tunnel.

When the flowers bloom in mid-April to early May, the scene becomes truly magical — a fragrant, pastel-colored wonderland that enchants even the most stoic hearts.
