Wisteria, Samurai & Wagyu: Ashikaga Day Trip
Escape Tokyo for a truly special day trip to Ashikaga, home to some of Japan’s most breathtaking wisteria. This tour is guaranteed to run even with just one guest. Enjoy a premium Tochigi Wagyu roast beef rice bowl for lunch. Discover Ashikaga, a historic samurai town often called “Little Kyoto.” Visit Banna-ji Temple and Ashikaga School, the oldest school in Japan, and take in panoramic views from Orihime Shrine, famous for its rare seven-colored torii gates. You will also be exclusively welcomed by a local resident dressed in full samurai armor — a unique and memorable experience. Enjoy free time to explore cafés, shops, or try an optional samurai armor experience. Small group (max 8 guests). Finally, spend 2.5 hours at Ashikaga Flower Park, where the wisteria is at its most beautiful — glowing in the golden sunset and illuminated at night. Afterward, relax in a comfortable seat on the Tobu train and return to Tokyo the same day with ease.
