What to expect
The Akeno sunflower fields stretch across the landscape, with vibrant yellow blooms swaying gently in the summer breeze. The sight of endless sunflowers under the clear blue sky creates a stunning visual contrast.
Best viewing tips
Visit in the late afternoon for the best lighting and cooler temperatures. Bring a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen, as there is little shade in the fields. The organiser sets this edition's dates closer to the time — confirm before you travel.
