Fujiyama Shrine is renowned in the Kyushu Region for its wisteria garden. In fact, one of the wisteria trees named “Ofuji” is recognized as a “natural treasure” in Nagasaki Prefecture. The other famous tree in the garden is a giant 800 year old “Ogatama Tree”, or better known by its botanical name – Magnolia compressa.
Wisteria is one of the trees native to Japan, and said to be the tree for “en-musubi”, meaning matchmaking or bringing people together. Night time illumination at the garden will be available during the blooming peak season.
