Hokuryu Sunflower Village・Sunflower Festival
Get Lost in a Sea of Sunflowers at the Hokuryu Sunflower Village
The “Sunflower Village” in Hokuryu Town attracts more than 200,000 visitors every year. 23 hectares (about 5 times the size of Tokyo Dome) of land is covered with 2 million sunflowers from mid-July to late August, delighting the eyes of visitors. The spectacle of the entire surface of the gently sloping hillside being colored a brilliant yellow is breathtaking, especially on a clear day when the yellow of the sunflowers stands out against the blue sky. There is also an observation deck overlooking the sunflower field, and the view from the two-story observation deck near the parking lot is outstanding. A little further away, a mini observation deck can be accessed by wheelchair users via a ramp. The triple waterwheel in one corner is another popular spot for commemorative photos. The sight of the water splashing and spinning in the hot summer is cool and the sound of the water is pleasant. Sunflower soft serve ice cream mixed with sunflower seeds is also a must-try.
At the Himawari Festival, visitors can enjoy the “Sunflower Corner of the World,” where they can view about 30 varieties of sunflowers grown by local junior high school students, the giant “Sunflower Maze,” rental bicycles, and the “Himawari-go,” a sightseeing car.
