The wisteria trellises cover a total area of about 3,000 square meters, and are stunning when in full bloom. When in full bloom, the wisteria trellis is a sight to behold. The purple clusters of flowers, some over 1 meter long, hang down and fascinate visitors.
During the festival, the grounds are lined with stalls and the town's sake brewery is open for tours. Visitors from far away will be able to spend a whole day enjoying the festival.
