Fukushima Travel – Private Wisteria Garden

In the peaceful countryside of Fukushima City, a breathtaking floral wonder awaits. As of May 14, 2025, the wisteria trellis at Kaminodera is in full bloom, drawing visitors into a dreamy world of pale purple blossoms and sweet, fragrant air.

This is a private home garden—lovingly maintained and generously opened to the public by the owner during peak season.

It all began 30 years ago, when the first wisteria saplings were planted. Since then, with careful pruning and deep affection, the vines have grown into a spectacular canopy of flowers.

Some of the cascading flower clusters exceed 1.5 meters (5 feet) in length at their peak, forming a shimmering curtain of blossoms. Without proper care, the vines would tangle like spiderwebs, but thanks to meticulous maintenance, the wisteria bloom each year in perfect form.

As you step into this garden, you are immediately surrounded by the delicate scent of wisteria and the tranquil beauty of lavender-hued petals hanging overhead.

It’s an enchanting experience that transports you far from the crowds—making it a perfect stop for those looking to enjoy authentic Japan travel off the beaten path.
