Hokkaido Sunflower Season
北海道ひまわり畑
Hokkaido
From late July to mid-August, Hokkaidō's plains blaze with sunflowers — most famously at Hokuryū's Himawari-no-Sato, whose roughly 1.5 million blooms make it Japan's largest sunflower field, alongside fields around Memanbetsu and the Kitami area.

Happens every year
What to expect
The vast Hokuto and Kitami plains become a sea of vibrant yellow as sunflowers sway gently in the breeze, their faces following the sun. The open fields offer an unobstructed view of the horizon.
Best viewing tips
Visit in the late afternoon when the sunflowers face west for the best lighting. Wear comfortable shoes for walking through the expansive fields. The organiser sets this edition's dates closer to the time — confirm before you travel.
