In all seasons except Winter, Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi Prefecture is a wonderland of gorgeous seasonal flowers including one of the largest wisteria that blooms for a few weeks in the Spring. But in Winter, the park must transform itself into a carnival of lights, over 3.5 million in 2016, to become one of the biggest illuminations in the Kanto area. Expect crowds and brisk weather but also one of the most beautiful night time spectacles you have ever seen.
