Omagari Lakeside Garden
A sunflower field transformed from a prison farm, featuring double cropping for enjoyment in summer and autumn
A vast 14-hectare sunflower field created on the former Abashiri Prison farm site. Double cropping allows visitors to enjoy spectacular views twice - in summer and autumn.
Land that was once a 14-hectare Abashiri Prison farm has now been transformed into a flower field where about 2.6 million sunflowers bloom. The yellow flowers spreading across an area equivalent to about four Tokyo Domes can be viewed from a wooden observation deck, with a golden carpet extending to the horizon spreading before your eyes. Walking through the garden, you can feel the vivid brightness of petals shining in sunlight up close, surrounded by sunflowers taller than yourself.
The greatest feature of this flower field is double cropping of sunflowers. About 750,000 bloom from early to mid-July, and about 2.6 million reach full bloom from late September to early October. Especially in autumn, the sight of yellow sunflowers and delicate pink and white cosmos blooming simultaneously is spectacular, with flowers swaying in the autumn breeze while their sweet fragrance drifts through the air. You can walk unpaved trails and enjoy different expressions of flowers each season.
