Experience the breathtaking magic of 2 million sunflowers painting 23 hectares of rolling hills in vibrant gold, creating a summer spectacle unlike any other.

In Hokuryu Town, summer arrives with a stunning transformation as one of Japan’s largest sunflower fields bursts into bloom. As far as the eye can see, gentle hills are blanketed in a radiant yellow carpet, with millions of flowers turning their heads in unison toward the sun. As you wander through the fields, the scent of fresh greenery carries on the warm summer breeze, and the nostalgic hum of the "Sunflower-go" sightseeing tractor adds a peaceful rhythm to your journey.

For a closer look at nature’s diversity, visit the "World Sunflower Corner." Here, you can observe about 24 unique varieties from around the globe, each with distinct textures, shapes, and colors that invite you to feel the incredible vitality of these sun-loving blooms.

If you are feeling adventurous, lose yourself in the excitement of the giant sunflower maze—a perfect way to enjoy the summer sun before heading to the Sunflower Information Center. There, you can treat yourself to the famous Sunflower Soft Serve. The cool, creamy texture is perfectly complemented by the nutty, roasted aroma of sunflower seed oil, offering a refreshing end to your exploration.

Lovingly cultivated by the local community since 1979, this golden landscape is more than just a view; it is a heartwarming testament to the town's spirit. Come and be embraced by this endless golden sea for a summer memory that will shine forever.
