Kawachi Wisteria Garden

Kawachi Wisteria Garden (河内藤園, Kawachi Fujien) is a stunning private garden nestled in the wooded hills south of Kitakyushu. Famous for its breathtaking wisteria displays, the garden attracts visitors during the wisteria season, which peaks from late April to early May. The garden is also open during the autumn maple season, offering a beautiful change of scenery. Visitors can stroll through two impressive wisteria tunnels, each around 100 meters long, showcasing flowers in shades from white to deep purple.

In addition to the tunnels, the garden is home to massive wisteria trees that create a grand canopy of drooping flowers. A hilltop viewpoint offers panoramic views of the vibrant wisteria blossoms and the surrounding valley, known for its bamboo groves. Due to its rising popularity, especially during Golden Week, Kawachi Wisteria Garden now requires advance reservations during the peak season to help manage crowds.
