Here I am at Kawachi Fuji Garden or Kawachi Wisteria Garden. This kind of flower, my Japanese friends call it ‘Fuji’ because it is another kind of symbol (of Japan), apart from Sakura. The full bloom might take 1-2 weeks a year, from late April until early May. So, if you are here in Fukuoka Prefecture, you might you must come here.
This trip started at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. We did an easy check-in at a kiosk around Thai Airways Counter. Nowadays, we can check-in via ThaiAirways.com, Thai Airways Mobile Application or at Self Check-in Kiosk here. Really convenient and save time!
On-board, it was a smooth flight with full services and great inflight entertainment. We enjoyed breakfast in the sky just before we landed in Fukuoka.
My hotel is in a walking distance to Hakata station. This morning, I enjoyed shopping for breakfast before boarding the train. As there is no food available at Kawachi Wisteria Garden, it is recommended that we have some food and drinks in our bag.
From Hakata Station, we got on a local train on JR Kagoshima Main Line to Yahata Station. It took about an hour. After we arrived Yahata station, we decided not to take buses as it needed a lot of connections and a long walk to the garden.
The most convenient way is that we took a taxi which took around 20-25 mins and it costs you 3,000 yen (one-way). But, you can just take a taxi up to 4 people.
I booked the ticket in advance. I bought tickets from convenient store, and it costs 500 yen each. And, you pay an extra fee. When it is full bloom, it might cost 1,000-1,500 yen per person. At the entrance, you pay the extra fee.
You could explore the whole place up to 2 hours. It is really beautiful. You might see that it is one of the most beautiful places in Japan. Actually, it has been ranked as one of the most beautiful places in Japan by CNN.
Opened in 1977, Kawachi Wisteria Garden is a private garden located in Kitakyushu city in Fukuoka Prefecture, owning a large number of over 20 kinds of wisterias in a 10,000 square meters area. The founder, Masao Higuchi, and his family have devoted themselves to growing wisteria flowers with great care and deep love.
The highlight of this garden is two stunning tunnels made with numerous wisterias. The tunnels are covered with beautiful wisterias in various colours, creating overwhelming views.
After we finished touring the garden, we took a taxi back to Yahata Station then caught a train back to Hakata Station, feeling fulfilled.
We can do Self Check-in at Fukuoka Airport! It is fast and easy, no need to stay in a long line. Early check-in is up to 12 hours prior to departure time. Choose the seat you preferred, print your boarding pass, and drop your bag. Alternatively, we can check-in via ThaiAirways.com or Thai Airways mobile application up to 24 hours prior to departure time.
