Hokuryu Sunflower Village・Sunflower Festival
Two million sunflowers in full bloom! Japan's largest sunflower field
Every year, more than 200,000 tourists visit Hokuryu Town's "Sunflower Village." From mid-July to late August, about 2 million sunflowers bloom across a vast area of 23 hectares (about five times the size of Tokyo Dome), delighting visitors with their vibrant display. The sight of gentle hills covered in bright yellow is breathtaking, especially on sunny days when the yellow sunflowers contrast beautifully with the blue sky.
The site features an observation deck that offers a panoramic view of the sunflower fields. The two-story observation deck near the parking lot provides an excellent vantage point. There is also a mini observation deck a bit further away, accessible via a ramp for wheelchair users. Another popular spot for commemorative photos is the triple waterwheel, which looks refreshing as it splashes water during the hot summer, accompanied by the pleasant sound of water.
Don't miss the "Sunflower Soft Cream," a delightful treat mixed with sunflower seeds.
During the "Sunflower Festival," you can enjoy various attractions such as the "World Sunflower Corner," showcasing about 30 types of sunflowers grown by local middle school students, a giant "Sunflower Maze," rental bicycles, and the sightseeing car "Sunflower-go." On weekends and other occasions, fireworks displays and special events add to the festive atmosphere.
