The cherry blossom, or sakura in Japanese, is definitely the most famous symbol of Japan. But this beautiful country actually has many other lovely flowers apart from its sakura trees. While the cherry blossom has its own distinctive beauty, the wisteria tree has a charm that is equally captivating. If you plan to visit Japan in spring, be sure to include Ashikaga Flower Park in your list of destinations. Located just north of Tokyo, the park has the largest wisteria tunnel garden in Japan. 

Wisterias are pleasantly sweet-smelling vines that are found mainly in Japan, China and some eastern states of North America. These flowering plants can produce flowers in many different colors, which makes them the most beautiful trees in the world. Some of the most common colors are purple, white, pink, yellow and blue. Wisteria vines can grow up to 5 meters each year and bloom during the spring season.

In the spirit of celebration, Japanese people took these beautiful trees to the next level and built the largest cherry blossom tree made entirely of Lego bricks. The tree was originally designed in the Czech Republic and then shipped to Legoland Japan in Nagoya, where it was assembled. It was also meant to celebrate the theme park’s first anniversary.  

It took over 6,500 hours of work to finish it and exactly 881,470 Lego bricks were needed to pull this off. Over 14 feet tall and almost five feet wide, the tree has been registered in the Guinness Book of World Records as the ‘largest Lego brick cherry blossom tree.'” 

This pretty Lego structure features a grassy green base, a canopy with thousands of flowers, and Lego working lanterns that glitter at night. Check it out below!

Yota is without a doubt one very creative father and he makes his children parts of incredible scenarios.

Evangeline Neo is an artist who noticed these things and decided to create comics about them. She noticed that Japan is different compared to other countries while she was studying in Tokyo from 2010 to 2014. She successfully caught the differences in behavior in restaurants, in public parks and even shops! For example, slurping noodles is totally acceptable in restaurants.  Neo also tells a story about the lifestyle of the Japanese, like for example how the elderly are much more active compared to some other countries and how everyone picks up the garbage after a football game.

With a collection of over 300 comics and two books, Neo hopes that her illustrations will help everyone understand Japan better and enjoy her comics at the same time!

The gang has been traveling together since 2011. Fuku-Chan didn’t approve of his owner disappearing for days at a time, so Nagasawa would come back home to him pulling pranks and behaving aggressively. It was clear – if he wanted to travel, his cats would have to go with him.

The result of this decision is below and we believe it was the right one!

Today those have become true stars of the Japanese culture (95% of the cities in Japan have in their streets such decorated manholes), and they have their own festival which took place last weekend in Tokyo.

Visitors can admire the different creations, leave with their miniature copies of manhole covers, purchase collector cards with their effigy or even consume those manhole covers, reproduced in the form of biscuits. All in the name of art!

It was in 2006 that the first straw sculpture was created and exhibited, and in 2008, the city of Niigata decided to make it an annual event. Entitled the “Wara Art Matsuri Festival”, this fair celebrating the rice harvest is a really unique event (“wara” meaning rice straw in Japanese). Student Amy Goda was the one who imagined these giant sculptures, including dinosaurs, made from rice straw.

This year, visitors were able to admire new giant creations such as a mammoth, a monkey or a snow tiger.
