“Gomangoku Fuji (Wisteria)” is the name of the wisteria trees climbing over the trellises with a total area of 1,300 square meters located in the south of Okazaki Park in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. Constructed in the Okazaki Castle ruins site, the park has a lot of buildings and historic sites pertaining to Tokugawa Ieyasu. The restored donjon stands in the center of the park.

The wisteria flower is the city’s official flower and Gomangoku Wisteria is designated as a city’s cultural property. The trellises were built in 1911. The longest vine extends 11 meters and some vines have pendulous racemes 1 meter long.

From late April through early May, Gomangoku Wisteria Festival is held and the area around the trellises is bustled with visitors. The flowers are illuminated in the evenings during the festival period.
