Koto Garden has a Darumafuji wisteria and 14 Nagafuji wisterias (famous as the so-called “Hiro-no-Nagafuji”), and visitors to the Wisteria Festival held every year from the end of April until early May are able to enjoy the wonderful scenery and fragrances that spread out over the 1,000m2 and more of the garden's grounds, courtesy of flower clusters that are over a meter long.
