Wisteria Tunnel Japan

The aforementioned stunning photographs of interminable blooms are from the Wisteria Tunnel at Kawachi Fuji Gardens, in Kitakyushu, Japan. The blossoms look thick yet ethereal, hanging down in their slick columns of shade; the other photographs of blooming trees are probably from distinctive parts of the same arrangement.

A part of the pea family, wisteria is an elaborate vine, uncontrollably prominent in both Eastern and Western cultivates for its smooth hanging blooms and its fancy, winding limbs. Effortlessly prepared, the woody vines for the most part arrive at development inside a couple of years, at which indicate they sprout in falls of long, lavender blooms of differing pastel shades.

Make a point to visit in the Spring, throughout the "Fuji Matsuri," or "Wisteria Festival," when the mysterious tunnel is in full sprout. Touch base at whatever available time of year, and its manifestation will be a unsettling mass of dead, bent extensions.
