In April and May, when the seasons transition from spring to the bright sunshine of summer, there's nothing better than enjoying a trip that combines sightseeing with admiring the vibrant flower gardens in various regions. Saigontourist offers many flower-viewing tour packages in Japan and the Netherlands.
Anyone who still doubts the existence of eternal love will surely change their mind upon visiting Ashikaga Park in Tochigi Prefecture, the "kingdom" of wisteria, long considered by the Japanese as a symbol of undying love, blooming from mid-April to mid-May. Almost simultaneously, a whole corner at the foot of Mount Fuji bursts with vibrant life as the white, red, and pink hues of mountain cherry blossoms create breathtaking carpets of flowers. During this time, Saigontourist Travel Service will take tourists to Japan to enjoy the most characteristic flower seasons of the Land of the Rising Sun, departing from both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi at the end of April.
Many parks in Japan grow wisteria (also known as Fuji), but only at Ashikaga Park in the city of the same name in Tochigi Prefecture (about 100km from Tokyo) is wisteria truly celebrated. A vast space of over 8 hectares has been created, resembling a wild forest, dedicated to cultivating a variety of colorful Fuji flowers, from green, white, and pink to yellow and purple…
If wisteria symbolizes eternal love high above, then the mountain cherry blossom (Shibazakura) is the queen of the earth. The vast carpets of Shibazakura blossoms, in shades of pale pink, light purple, red, and white, with over 80,000 trees blooming at the foot of Mount Fuji, will leave visitors with an unforgettable romantic and impressive image. With a Saigontourist tour, visitors have the opportunity to join the locals in the Shibazakura flower festival, held annually from late April to late May in the Fujikawaguchiko area. The allure of this unique yet rustic flower might cause visitors to use up a lot of battery power from their cameras!
In addition to the cherry blossom tours in Japan that have been offered for many years and the pioneering wisteria stream tour launched in 2012, this year Saigontourist continues to launch a series of Japan tours with opportunities to enjoy wisteria streams combined with attending the mountain cherry blossom festival, or simply admiring the mountain cherry blossoms. Tours departing from Ho Chi Minh City: Wisteria and mountain cherry blossom tour following the Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto-Mount Fuji-Hakone-Tokyo itinerary, 5 days, priced at VND 48.99 million - departing April 28th; or 6 days, priced at VND 49.99 million - departing April 27th and 28th.
