Sunflower Special Feature | Famous Sunflower Spots and Photo Locations Near the Kanto Region to Visit This Summer
Sunflowers, blooming boldly against the blue summer sky, are one of the flowers that best symbolize summer. The sight of a field covered with vibrant yellow flowers is enough to lift your spirits just by looking at it. Sunflower fields bathed in the morning or evening sun take on different appearances depending on the time of day, so you’ll discover new charms no matter how many times you visit.
The Kanto region and its surrounding areas offer a variety of locations, including vast sunflower fields that turn the landscape entirely yellow, as well as parks and rolling hills. The early morning hours, when the area is bathed in soft light, are especially recommended for photography, as the flowers’ colors stand out beautifully and there are fewer people around. You can capture photos unique to summer, such as shots that make the most of the contrast with the blue sky or backlighting.
Wind Chime Special Feature | Famous Wind Chime Spots and Photo Locations Near the Kanto Region to Visit This Summer
Wind chimes are a quintessentially Japanese seasonal tradition that bring a sense of coolness amid the summer heat. The clear, ringing sound they make every time the wind rustles them, and the paper strips that flutter gently in the breeze—just gazing at them is enough to soothe the soul.
The wind chimes lined up on the grounds of shrines and temples complement the serene scenery beautifully, and their charm lies in the unique summer atmosphere they evoke. Against a backdrop of blue skies and fresh greenery, they create a refreshing scene, while when paired with the soft light of evening, they lend a gentle, tranquil atmosphere.
Wind chimes—which are a delight to look at, evoke a sense of coolness through their sound, and make you want to capture them in photos—are the perfect subject for summer outings and photo shoots.
