Hello!

I visited one of Fujieda City’s annual spring events, the Wisteria Festival. The world of wisteria is as soothing as the “Setogawa Cherry Blossom Tunnel” that I introduced before. Here is a loose report.

What is the Wisteria Festival?

Some of you may already know about it, but let me start by reviewing it. The “Wisteria Festival” is an annual event held from late April through Golden Week at Rengeji Pond Park in Fujieda City.

It is an annual festival that attracts many tourists from within and outside the city every year.

In 2025, the main event was held from April 19 (Saturday) to April 29 (Tuesday, national holiday), and the “Rengeji 3-day Marugoto Dabouken” was held from May 3 to 5, where visitors could enjoy family-oriented events. I also assisted in this event, although only for one day.

There are more than 250 wisteria trees of about 20 varieties in the park! The wisteria trellis, about 500 meters long, is filled with a sweet fragrance and purple curtains.

In 2025, the wisteria was declared to be in bloom on April 14, and the best time to see the wisteria was around the 20th, which was a little late, but many people visited as usual.

Wisteria Festival Highlights

Wisteria Garden


This place used to be called “Wisteria Village Plaza. It is the most beautiful “garden garden” in Japan in terms of variety and beauty, and is filled with the sweet fragrance of wisteria during the wisteria flower season. It is located a little further inside Rengeji Pond Park, so perhaps there are some people who do not know about it?


Illuminated and fantastic


At night, the Fuji garden and wisteria trellises are lit up and the atmosphere is otherworldly. Visitors can enjoy a fantastic night stroll.


Outdoor stage and carp streamers

Dance☆Fest will be held on April 19, and bands, music performances, juggling shows, and character shows for children will be held on and after April 20. Koinobori (carp streamers) swimming in the wisteria season are very popular among children!


The reborn “Wisteria Ice Cream

For 2025, the renewed Wisteria Ice Cream makes its first appearance! Mixed flavor with milk, it is sweet and refreshing!

summary

The Wisteria Festival is a healing event where visitors can enjoy the purple world and fragrance of wisteria.
You can enjoy a leisurely walk with your family, take a photo for SNS with the lights up, or take a break with a bowl of wisteria ice cream.

It is a perfect GW outing and a perfect event to feel the change of the season!

Please spend a wonderful time surrounded by the fragrance of wisteria that wafts through Rengeji Pond Park every spring.
