Japan Travel guide: Ashikaga, Tochigi prefecture is less than an hour and a half away from Tokyo. I can’t believe this City is not too well known with tourists!
Ashikaga is a Japanese city north of Tokyo. It’s known for the spring wisteria blooms and seasonally illuminated gardens of Ashikaga Flower Park. Nearby Kurita Museum has a notable porcelain collection. In the city center, 12th-century Bannaji Temple has a centuries-old gingko tree.

Hi Nathan, thanks for the very interesting travel vlog. Is there anything to see in the Ashikaga Flower Park in December? Is the Coco winery open as well?
As the channel moves away from the Japanese border, I hope this video is informative and leads people to consider a trip to a less visited area near Tokyo. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the format of this video too!
Has anyone visited any of these locations? Let me know!
Yay! The Ashikaga footage, been looking forward to this.

I was at a winery in Northern Georgia actually in America, was wonderful
