This photograph captures the gentle glow of poppies bathed in the evening sun at Hirai Sports Park. Located along the Arakawa River, Hirai Sports Park is a tranquil spot where Shirley poppies bloom profusely from spring into early summer. At their peak, red and pink poppies swaying in the breeze color the embankment, delighting visitors. The evening hours are especially recommended. As the setting sun casts its rays, the petals glow softly and translucently. The scene where the Tokyo Skytree overlaps with the sunset is truly spectacular. If the timing is right, you can capture fantastical photos featuring the poppy field bathed in golden light.
