We’ve recently posted an article about the sunflowers in APA resort at Joetsu Myoko, here is a list of places where you can see sunflowers around Japan.
The Kiyose Sunflower Festival, Tokyo
The first spot to introduce is this biggest sunflower field in Tokyo.
You will see around 100,000 sunflowers in about 24,000 square meters!
The event is held every year around August. Unfortunately, this year's festival is already over, so you will have to wait until next year for now.
They have other events like photo contests and local produce markets during the period as well.
