Ashikaga Flower Park Winter Illumination (Hikari no Hana Matsuri)

Ashikaga · Tochigi · Kanto

Ashikaga Flower Park's annual winter illumination is one of the most acclaimed light festivals in all of Japan, consistently ranking among the country's top illumination events. Six million LEDs drape the garden's famous wisteria trellises, great trees, and pathways in cascading colour themes including a breathtaking 'Miracle Blue' display. Visitors stroll through tunnels of light, illuminated rose gardens, and a massive light-up tree that anchors the central landscape. The event runs on selected evenings from mid-October through late February, with peak magic in December.
