Wisteria Tunnel


Kawachi Fuji Gardens in Kitakyushu Japan is known worldwide for their wisteria tunnel. The flowers are absolutely gorgeous and the smell reminds you of warm, sweet spring days.  These beautiful flowers peak at the end of April to early May in Kyushu. Unfortunately we were about a week and a half too early to see them in full bloom, but we were able to avoid the crowds of Golden Week where most of the Japanese are off of work celebrating a week filled with national holidays. 




I love the old, twisted trunks of the Wisteria

 Maybe we will make it back next year for Eisley's Second Birthday. 
The Japanese love America babies and always ask to take pictures of/with them.

Here is a MAP for my fellow Adventurers.

Kitakyushu Mountain Shrine

On our way back from the wisteria tunnel we stumbled upon a gorgeous temple. It had a shrine dedicated to the mountain and river there.I'm not sure if we could find it again if we tried, but we enjoyed how quiet and picturesque it was.
