Maybe, depends on weather conditions.

This is one of famous "Noda fuji(‚Ì‚¾‚Ó‚¶)" in Osaka.

This is another one in Osaka, old private house.

below are not in Osaka/Kyoto area, but not so far as day trip.

Although it can be seen only in these place, unlike cherry blossoms,
a large "wisteria trellis(“¡’I Fuji-dana)" is needed for big,
so it will be confined to shrines, temples, schools and garden of private house with long history,
bc regular maintenance is necessary every year.

Wisteria Flowers is Fuji(“¡) in Japanese.
One of symbol of Japan "Mt.Fuji(Fuji-san)" is not, using different Kanji "•xŽm(•xŽmŽR)".
If ask to Japanese, many people don't know the English name of Wisteria,
so say "Fuji no hana(Fuji of flower)" or
"Fuji-dana no meisyo(famous spots of wisteria trellis)" fastest for understandings.
It is also an easy way to show flower pictures.

If would like to speak in Japanese, copy to below and click play button.

“¡‚̉Ԃ̖¼Š‚ð ’T‚µ‚Ä‚¢‚Ü‚·B
“¡’I‚Ì–¼Š‚ð ’m‚肽‚¢‚Å‚·B
“¡’I‚Ì–¼Š‚ð ’m‚è‚Ü‚¹‚ñ‚©?
"I(We) looking for A" is "A wo sagashite imasu.",
or want to(wonna) know A is "A wo shiritai-desu." or "A wo shiri-masenka?".
Everyone knows basic words like "flower" or "spot/spots".

If budget is no limit, you should go here.

You should decide after checking the blooming condition info.
Although "Ashikaga" is not bad if from Tokyo area.

There is no such garden the same size in Jap... the world,
but both are too far fr Osaka/Kyoto area.

In Japan wisteria is not so rare flower,
but most spots have not enough amount that you seen in the web sites, or.

The bees will come together(not so many), but there is no dangerous species with poison.
It might be surprising for big/fat one named "Kuma(or Kuman) bachi" means "bear bee".

Byoudoin in Uji (about 1/2 way between Nara and Kyoto on the JR line) has lovely wisteria in season.

Hi!

You definitely should, I love Byoudoin, even when the wisteria are not in bloom. But the temple has several areas dedicated to wisteria. I went a long time ago, back when I use to travel to Japan for GW.

If you're in Uji in June/July Mimurotoji really is fantastic for hydrangea. When we were there it was full of Japanese visitors but we were the only obvious foreigners. I would say the hydrangeas were better than Kamakura and just different from Hakone and it's Ajisai train, because it's just a much greater distance.
