Tokyo Tourist Map: Wisteria Floribunda: Ashikaga Park


The offset fourth dimension I ever actually appreciated or fifty-fifty seen upwards unopen this flowering found was inwards Ito City inwards Shizuoka Prefecture at the famous Rinsenji Temple - in that place are a few other temples alongside the same name, thus simply recollect Rinsenji is the i inwards Ito, together with it is the  (りんせんじ temple) - alongside the  floribunda variety.     Although the actual found was named subsequently an anglo, the Japanese guide keep been cultivating this flowering found for centuries before, together with was fifty-fifty introduced to North America yesteryear a Westerner.    How tin i human being lay claim to a  name for a blossom anyway?   In Nippon nosotros telephone telephone it "Fuji".





As the Sun began to wane, together with the terminal vestiges of its keen unloosen energy shone hues of  gold together with orangish across the eventide sky.   Images of a fourth dimension long gone, together with faded jubilees together with sugariness kisses.   And sugariness nothings.    The naked blossom for, example.  It's already beautiful simply every bit it is.  No remove to adorn it.  Such every bit the wisteria alongside its long together with slender vines, together with soft pedals lain across trellises.  




                                                                       Ashikaga




Science tells us that the oldest blossom never bloomed together with evidence of the offset blossom ever created  is however unknown to us.    The debt to beauty is there.  The proof must hold out somewhere.   Even scientific discipline has proven to hold out utterly clueless.








                                                                                   Purple

We are all indebted to beauty.    We must run into it upwards unopen together with odor it.   This is what I wanted to produce on that long develop ride through the Sun baked backbone of Tochigi Prefecture.   From Oyama to Tomita is a vast together with rural evidently of golden rice fields together with ramshackle barns.   I loved how the setting Sun bathed the whole landscape inwards vivid hues of orangish together with gilt together with the tiny man- made eddies alongside glistening ripples of lite shimmering off the surfaces.   Orbs of sunlight piercing through the train's windows together with stinging my semi squinted eyes.  I honey how the develop rocked alongside its squeaky railroad vehicle every bit it worked its means through this valley.  I was on my means to Beauty.   Bound for Beauty.  Beauty bound.   Night Beauty.



Purple is a color most associated alongside royalty inwards the Western world.   In Japan, it's a symbol of protection.  In Asia it's associated alongside mourning together with suffering.  For the American Negro adult woman it is associated alongside sexual  violation together with domestic violence every bit portrayed inwards the painting Color Purple.    Purple is a color that represents thus many dissimilar dynamics inwards the human experience.    For me, it has ever been a symbol of beauty together with protection.  




                                                 Ashikaga Park had thus much beauty to offering for me.  


                                                    The duad together with where it connected me to....


       There is a wonderful site here which explains the dissimilar varietals together with the history of this park.




It took me nearly 2 hours together with xxx minutes to achieve Tomita station, together with thus some other twenty infinitesimal walk to the park.  Entrance was nearly 1400 yen.  The common together with souvenir shops remain opened upwards until 9pm.   Remember to endeavor the wisteria soft H2O ice cream!   Very delicious.   Wear some skilful walking shoes because in that place are enough of splendid human foot paths.   You guide keep until May 20th to savour these wisteria.   Daytime offers a completely dissimilar sentiment than night.  I recommend trying both.   You don't remove buses together with taxis to larn here.  There are enough of amenities here, too.   If yous convey your ain nutrient in that place is enough of gratis seating all circular the common which all guide keep gorgeous scenic views of wisteria.    


  





As for accommodation.  Oyama Station is the nearest major station together with has an e-hotel together with a few other concern accommodations at affordable prices.   I did non guide whatever of them because their facilities were inadequate  for me.  Meaning the baths unopen downwards at simply about midnight.   Other thus that, fairly decent accommodation.   I opted for Takasaki Station because they had a Dormy Inn which has a bathroom together with sauna that remain opened upwards all nighttime - sauna shuts downwards at 5am.     Plus they allow for belatedly check-in, similar yesteryear midnight if yous telephone telephone them.   Takasaki has to a greater extent than convenience stores.   It takes 2 hours to achieve from Tomita Station.  Long pelting ride, but good worth it for me.
