Japan's Famous Wisteria Viewing Spots Photo:Wisteria Wisteria is an ancient, famous, Japanese vining tree with beautiful flowers that also appears in the hugely popular anime/manga "Demon Slayer" (or "Kimetsu no Yaiba" for those who prefer the Japanese title). The meanings of wisteria include "kindness," "foreverness," and "drunk on love," all of which are associated with marriage and matchmaking. Wisteria blooms during spring in Japan (around mid-April), and in addition to the beautiful flowers, visitors can enjoy the pleasant fragrance of the flowers. It is best to check Twitter and other websites in advance to find information on flowering forecasts, festival periods, and up-to-date bloom information. The famous wisteria viewing spots introduced in the video are "Nakayama O-fuji" in Yanagawa, Fukuoka, "Kurogi no O-fuji" in Yame, Fukuoka, and "Fujiyama Shrine" in Sasebo, Nagasaki, all located in Japan's Kyushu Region. In addition to the three locations shown in the video, Fukuoka and Nagasaki prefectures are also dotted with other places famous for their wisteria. The privately owned "Kawachi Wisteria Garden" in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, and "Buzoji Temple" with its "Wisteria of Longevity" in Tsukushi, Fukuoka, are especially popular. The Kawachi Wisteria Garden, which was selected as one of the "10 Beautiful Places In The World That Actually Exist" in 2012, is so popular that it requires reservations.
