Tsurugatayama Park

Japan, 710-0054 794-1 Honmachi, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture

[Cherry blossoms that dye the park pink and a large wisteria tree that is 300 to 500 years old] A park built to the north of the Bikan Historical Quarter and around the grounds of Achi Shrine, the guardian deity of Kurashiki. In spring, about 120 cherry blossom trees dye the park pink. There is also a large wisteria trellis in the park, which is called ``Achi no Wisteria''. The tree is said to be 300 to 500 years old and has a trunk circumference of 1.5m. It is the oldest and largest wisteria of its kind, and is a natural monument of Okayama Prefecture. At one point, the tree was on the brink of dying, but as a result of local residents' efforts to protect it, and treatment by an arborist, the tree has recovered and blooms beautifully in early May every year. .
