Zama Sunflower Field

Overview

The Zama Sunflower Field in Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, is one of the largest sunflower fields in the greater Tokyo area. The sight of approximately 550,000 sunflowers in full bloom is truly breathtaking! The contrast between the bright blue sky and the sea of yellow sunflowers is stunning, making it a popular photo spot for many visitors. The peak blooming season is typically from early to mid-August, coinciding with the Zama Sunflower Festival around Obon (a Japanese Buddhist holiday). In addition to strolling through the sunflower fields, visitors can enjoy local delicacies at food stalls, participate in sunflower-themed workshops, and much more – ensuring a full day of fun. Visiting during dawn or dusk is also highly recommended. The sunflowers bathed in the golden light of the setting sun offer a magical, ethereal beauty quite different from the daytime view. The Zama Sunflower Field is the perfect place to create lasting summer memories. Come and experience the beauty of the sunflowers for yourself!
