The Fujishima district in Tsuruoka City has been cherishing wisteria flowers since the old town era.
It is home to the Fujinohana Festival, mainly focusing on the Fuji Bonsai Exhibition putting on display wisteria bonsai that have been carefully cultivated by the locals.

This year, the 32nd edition of this festival will be held at the end of April, earlier than usual, as the wisteria flowers are expected to bloom earlier.

There are also product sales and food truck stalls, so please come and visit.
