Kameido Tenjin Shrine is one of the few places in Tokyo—and the most popular one—, where you can see great wisteria from late April until the beginning of May. The shrine holds a festival at that time, with a selection of food stalls and illumination at night, from sunset through to midnight. As it's a relatively small place, it does get extremely busy on weekends; definitely try to go there during the week. I don't remember having seen wisteria like this before—very beautiful.

Darn! Sad I missed it!
Next time Victoria!
Thanks Manish. I recommend to go as soon as you can. Due to the heavy rain on Wednesday, one part in the garden has already past its peak. Anyway, other parts were still gorgeous. The illumination must be great too. Sounds like something for you :-)
