Wisteria hates having its roots cut and is said to be difficult to transplant. The wisteria brought for the garden was a huge tree, and all of its roots were intricately intertwined, making it impossible to transplant it without cutting the roots.

While taking photos in the wisteria garden, I discovered an alien-like face on the trunk!

In this issue's topic, I introduced the charm of wisteria gardens, which I love!

It's really nice to be able to see these giant trees from the foot of Mount Fuji in TsuCity.

The wisteria garden was created through a lot of time, ingenuity and hard work, so please come and visit!

And please try to find some adorable aliens too!

*This year's alien's trunk has grown and its face is now slightly slanted!

Please also take a look at this report, which will serve as a reference for your wisteria tour.
