Tunnel of blooms. Purple flowers and Golden Week
The wisteria blossom season is winding down at Kawachi Fuji Garden. But for those lucky enough to be in Kitakyushu, Japan for the event, the reward is walking under a canopy of purple, pink, and white wisteria flowers. This wisteria blooms often overlap with Golden Week - the span from April 29 to May 5, when four major holidays in Japan occur. The week begins with Shōwa Day, a celebration for Emperor Hirohito, and ends with Children’s Day. Many workers take the week off and travel while enjoying the weather. If you missed the wisteria hubbub, come to Kawachi Fuji Garden in autumn, when the leaves turn and the park hosts a maple-leaf festival.
