What travelers are saying

To see the wisteria in full bloom is all a matter of TIMING and it will change from year to year - all weather dependent!

The flowers only bloom for a couple weeks though, and unfortunately golden week is really the best (and most crowded) time to see it.

Cheer up those who plan to come next few days or next few years - I got there early in a taxi as worried the free shuttle bus would be over crowded n I miss out as posted by earlier unfortunate travellers.

A little smaller than expected

The park is in fact beautiful and the wisteria hanging from the beams are incredible, a sight not to be forgotten, but I was expecting a larger park with more flowers and areas to sit down and appreciate the view. The most important thing however,...More

Although there are wisteria trees around, having a garden full of it makes it a beautiful excursion. However, one must plan the trip carefully because it is seasonal, the best time to view is from mid April to early May. Best to check out their...More

Research before going to see the Wisterias (Blooming period)

1) Day of visit: 11th May 2019 (The final day to visit was 12th May 2019) 2) The best time to visit/view the wisterias in full bloom is over, there is no need to pre-purchase tickets (Can purchase on the site for 500 yen per...More

Well worth the effort!

Getting what you want out of this garden takes a bit of planning and some luck. If you want the full effect, you have to visit when the wisterias are in full bloom, or possibly a day or two past full bloom. During peak season...More

Located in a remote area, the garden is best reached by rail from Kokura Station. You will need to alight at Yahata Station, and take a taxi to the garden (¥5000 both ways) or if you're visiting in peak season, there is a shuttle bus...More

Hi, we are visiting the Kita Kyushu Wisteria Garden after May 6th 2019, will they be open for the public? The information on the website mentions about the ticket purchasing from April 20th to May 6th, but after this period is not very clear if there is still admission to the Garden. Thank you.

Answer

Hi. I visited today, and its open. You don't have to buy tickets in advance, you buy them on site. From what I understood the park will be open till the 12th of May
