Open 24 Hours! Enjoy the Beautiful Night Sunflowers

The sunflower fields in Kitahiro-cho are open 24 hours a day! This means that you can also enjoy the night sunflowers.

2024年のお盆真っ只中に行ってきました🎶 人多くて混んでたけど、警備員さんがたくさんおられて、空いてるとこにちゃっちゃと車を案内してくれるので、待つことなく駐車できました😊 とても広いひまわり畑に、色んな国のひまわりが咲いてます🌻🌻 奥の広ーいひまわり畑の方は迷路になってました。有料だけど楽しそうだし、写真も撮りたかったので入りたかったのですが、訪れた日が本当に暑い日で、暑くてこれ以上奥に進めず…残念でしたー😭 それにしても、駐車場も入場も無料で、こんな素晴らしいひまわり畑を鑑賞できて、ホントにありがたい限り…✨ 100円以上の協力金をお支払いしたら、ひまわりの種が貰えます。是非ともお支払いしましょーう🌻🌻

7月23日に来訪暑い中かなりの時間をかけて到着残念ながら無料開放スペースの広大なひまわり畑はまだ満開ではなかったです敷地の奥にある有料のひまわりの巨大迷路は満開でした　圧巻です^ ^ そのほかに地元の中学生が植えた世界のひまわりも素敵でしたアルビノのような白いものや真っ赤な絵の具のようなひまわりまで！散歩がてら楽しめましたせせらぎには鴨がいてとても可愛らしかったです環境維持の募金をすると北竜町のひまわりの種がもらえます(100円以上？200円以上だったかな、失念) 時季が来たら植えてみたいと思います！

北竜町板谷にある広大なひまわり畑。北竜町を代表する観光名所で約200万本ものひまわりが咲き誇ります。見頃は8月で町内外から多くの観光客が訪れます。特にひまわり迷路はどこまでも続いているかのようなひまわり畑が広がっていて大変綺麗ですごかったです。入場は無料ですがひまわり畑の維持のための募金を募っていて100円以上の募金でポストカードとヒマワリの種がもらえます。北竜町にはこの以外にも個人のひまわり畑やひまわりを模した街灯など至る所でひまわりを見ることが出来ます。
