400,000 sunflowers...
All permits were obtained for filming.
Akeno Town in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, boasts some of the longest hours of sunshine in Japan.
Every year, local people sow sunflower seeds, which turn into 400,000 flowers that bloom, creating a spectacular 360-degree panorama.
Although the event ended on August 20, 2023, it will be a spot that you can enjoy again in 2024.

Sunflowers are so energizing! Looking at them makes you feel courageous and motivated.
The flower language of sunflowers is "gazing at you" and "brilliance." The contrast between the yellow petals and the brown center of the flower is striking, and the sight of the stems stretching out as if to face the strong summer sunlight is captivating.
This is a flower language that perfectly matches the dignified appearance of the flower.
