This photo captures the feeling of "Spring at Ashikaga Flower Park! A feast of colors painted by lupine blossoms."

This photo features decorated lupines as the main subject. Ashikaga Flower Park in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, is renowned as one of Japan's premier spots for wisteria in full bloom, but it offers much more. Throughout the year, visitors can enjoy flowers of various seasons at this park, with lupines reaching their peak from spring to early summer. Their unique shape and vibrant colors astonish and captivate visitors.Lupines possess such a unique characteristic that they are sometimes called "ascending wisteria." While wisteria flowers bloom in cascading clusters, lupines are striking for their upright growth, blooming straight upward. Their diverse flowers—purple, pink, white, yellow—appear as if reaching toward the sky.
