Ashikaga Flower Park Illumination

One of the Top Three Light Up Events in Japan!

Ashikaga Flower Park is the only place in Japan chosen as one of ten “Dream Destinations” for global travel by the American news site, CNN. The park holds an illumination event in wintertime.

Amazingly, for seven years in a row the park has garnered first place in the illumination category for Japan’s “Illumination Award” selected by certified professionals knowledgeable about night tourism throughout Japan. This illumination event was also recognized as a Night View Heritage of Japan in 2011 and one of the three major illumination events in Kanto in 2012.

In addition to the Flower Castle that debuted in 2017, there is the miraculous Great Wisteria trellis, the symbol of the park, featuring flower clusters newly added this year that are recreated down to the smallest detail so the impressive creation looks just like the real wisteria trellis when swaying in the wind.

Other popular attractions include the “Light Pyramid” and “One Earth for All” that double the amount of light by reflecting off the water’s surface, the 25-meter-tall “Illumination Tower,” “Rainbow Magic,” and “Flower Field In The Sky—The Milky Way” which is a wall of light that uses a hillside slope to appear above people’s heads.
