Tokaen
Tokaen is the go-to spot if you’d like to see these light purple flower curtains. Wisteria, ‘fuji” in Japanese, is one of the most emblematic flowers of late spring in Japan. This beautiful flower grows off a small tree which tends to stick and climb on anything. That’s the reason why wisteria is often grown around arches or pergolas, their luxurious foliage provides a very appreciated shadowy space during spring and summer. This Japanese flower has been represented numerous times in paintings or poetry and its Chinese character 藤 (fuji) is also used in many family names.

During its peak, many couples visit the park to enjoy this truly joyous atmosphere filled with love.
