Located in Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture, this long-lived wisteria is a national natural monument that is over 600 years old and is said to have been hand-planted by Prince Yoshinari, the Shogun of the Western Empire, in 1395. The flowers that hang down like purple curtains from the vast wisteria trellis, which stretches 50m east to west and 80m north to south, are a spectacular sight, and the best time to see them is from mid to late April every year, when the Yame Kuroki Wisteria Festival is held.

The best time to see the wisteria is from mid-April to late April every year, when the Nakayama Wisteria Festival is held. The wisteria has also attracted attention as it is related to the design of Japan's new 5,000 yen banknote.
