かすみ Chá Wū - 本宮市

I visited on May 8th because I wanted to see the beautiful wisteria after reading a news article about it for the first time. In fact, I had visited Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi Prefecture the day before, but although it was large and impressive, the wisteria there had already passed its peak. However, here at this restaurant, the wisteria was in full bloom and it was a lovely sight to see. Despite the fact that there were many visitors, it wasn't crowded, and I realized that it was a hidden gem of a spot. There were koi fish in the pond, and when you buy fish food for 100 yen and feed them, they eat so eagerly that it was entertaining to watch, making adults happy as well.

I went on the last day of Golden Week. There were staff in the parking lot, so we were able to enter smoothly. The wisteria trellis was in full bloom, and the azaleas were also blooming beautifully. It was fun to stroll around the garden. There are also play equipment such as swan boats and slides, so even small children can enjoy without getting bored. (I was surprised by the variety of swan boats. Panda?? Koala??) There are various types of food available at the restaurant. I had miso oden, and it was delicious! The entrance fee is 800 yen, but it is a passport type that can be used multiple times until November if paid once. It's really nice. It seems that you can enjoy various flowers and autumn leaves depending on the season, so I would like to visit again. 2022/05/08.

First visit to this restaurant. Arrived just after 9 am opening time on a holiday, and already about 20 cars were parked in the first parking lot. The autumn leaves were at their peak and the weather was nice, so we were able to leisurely enjoy a pleasant stroll. The entrance fee is 700 yen for adults, which can also be used as an annual passport. I was intrigued by the large wisteria trellis, so I hope to come back next time to see the wisteria flowers.

2021年11月上旬、紅葉の見頃に訪問。 祭日で混んでいましたが、駐車場が多いため満車にはなっていませんでした。 園内の蛇の鼻御殿は別料金がかからずそのまま入館できます。 園内を隅々まで散策するなら起伏が多いのでスニーカー等歩きやすい靴がよいです。

11月上旬行きました。 朝から（10時台で）入り口付近の駐車場は満員です。 凄まじい人気でした。 私たちは10時頭に入り10:45分くらいには出ましたが、入場口は30m位の長蛇の列でした。 早めにこうした時期は向かわれるべきかと。 市内の有名なご飯屋さんもこのくらいに退園すれば悠々と入れますからね。 さて、余計な話になりましたが、園内、この時期はとても色づきよく真っ赤な紅葉が見られました。 赤緑黄色を期待するならもうちょい早い時期がよろしいかと。 来園される方、老若男女問わず皆さん一眼やなんやら持たれており写真スポットとしても良い場所なんだなと感じました。 自然界でなかなか目にすることのないあの赤は見るに値します。
