The best time to see 70,000 sunflower flowers Kanagawa Samukawa-cho, November 19, 19:52

In Sagawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, where flower cultivation is thriving, 70,000 sunflower flowers are in full bloom.

The Samukawa Town Tourism Association has been raising sunflower varieties of early blooms in the fields near the Samukawa Shrine for three years using a warm climate so that many people can visit during this time when tourists tend to decrease. The

In fact, about 70,000 seeds were planted in late September, growing about 50 cm tall and blossoming, and are in full bloom.

On the 19th, about 70 local kindergarten children were cheering while walking in the sunflower field and comparing them with their heights and counting the number of petals.

This is a hiking course that goes around the sunflower field and Samukawa Shrine.

“Since there are few flowers, I would like you to enjoy the sunflowers blooming like a yellow carpet and heal your heart,” said Samukawa Town Tourism Association's Executive Director Junyuki Kume.

The sunflower field will be open from the 22nd to the 24th of this month, and an event will be held on the 30th and the 1st of the following month.
