About 500,000 sunflowers are in full bloom in a vast field of 4 hectares. In order to enjoy the best time to see the flowers for a long time, the fields are divided into three areas and the blooming times are staggered. There are also events that parents and children can enjoy, such as a sunflower maze and a scarecrow exhibition. In the parking lot adjacent to the square, locals sell drinks and other items.

Where is Tsunan Town in Niigata Prefecture?

Located at the southernmost tip of Niigata Prefecture, on the border of Nagano Prefecture. The Shinano River, Shikumi River, Nakatsu River, and Kiyotsu River, which flow from the southwest to the northeast of the town, form a magnificent river terrace.
