I visited in August and was impressed by the colorful flower fields. It's a large park, but there's a tractor bus so you don't have to worry about your physical strength. There are a lot of tourists.

I guess it can't be helped because they grow flowers, but when you get close, the space between the flowers is so sparse that the ground appears in the image. The flowers are all short and the ground level stands out, so it doesn't give a spectacular and beautiful impression, and it's difficult to photograph the beautiful gradations from a distance because of the crowds. What's the point of photographing flowers that are too far away to be visible? Values ​​that I don't understand. I took some photos, but they were just as bland as the pioneers. I like flowers, but if I had to say, they're just flowers. It's so crowded that it's tiring. I can't find any better value for the effort involved, including the cost. I used to go every year until about 2022, but I no longer go there. I looked into it this year, but it doesn't seem to be any different.
