Nakayama Grand Wisteria

中山大藤

Yanagawa City is proud of its famous wisteria tree, a natural monument designated by the prefecture with beautiful large flower clusters.

The "Nakayama Grand Wisteria" is a 300-plus year old tree located at Nakayama Kumano Shrine in Yanagawa City.
The tree, which is designated as a natural monument by the prefecture, is said to have originated when "Man-san," a local liquor store owner in the Edo period, brought back the seeds of a Fuji (wisteria) tree from Noda, Osaka, and planted and nurtured it. The local preservation society and other related people carefully nurture the trees, and when they are in full bloom, the whole area is enveloped in a sweet fragrance.
The magnificent arch of wisteria over the stone bridge of the shrine is a sight to behold and a perfect photo spot. At night, the shrine is illuminated to create a romantic atmosphere, making it a great place for couples.

The Nakayama Grand Wisteria Festival is held at the shrine and Tachibana Ikoinomori Park from mid to late April during the blooming season. There are usually many food stalls, jazz live performances, photo contests, and sales of agricultural products and specialties. Tables and chairs are laid out under the wisteria trellises, where visitors can relax and enjoy viewing the wisteria flowers.

*The "Nakayama Grand Wisteria Festival" will be canceled in 2022 (wisteria viewing is permitted), and "Baby Go 16" will be held as a pre-event.
