The wistarias that bloom dripping long flowers are elegant. 。
There are 13 wistaria trellises in the garden. The season of the flower is from the end of April.
Thin purple wistaria flower heals your mind.
Coming round in the garden taking the Sappa boat is also happy.
Please enjoy strolling while being blown to the breeze.
The tunnel of the wistaria of 100 meters that is near the front gate is spectacular.
