Fuji Festival
From the middle of April, more than 50 wisteria flowers will begin to bloom all at once in the precincts. The appearance reflected in Shinji pond and the faint scent is loved by many people, and it is bustling as 'the best place for wisteria in Tokyo'. 

On the other hand, in the precincts of the night, the flowery illumination will bring you to a surreal world of fairies. 

During Kameido Tenjin Wisteria Festival you can enjoy a number of vibrant cultural activities and taste various foods from food stalls.

Remember the wisteria doesn’t always bloom at the same time. Flowers bloom early in those years when the summer comes early and just happen the opposite in those years when winter is prolonged.


Tips: To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many events have been canceled. Please check official sites before heading to an event.


Oh did I tell you that you can even get an awesome view of Skytree along with wisteria flower from there! Don't forget to take a picture of flower framed Skytree.
