This photo was taken at the cosmos field in Aigo no Sato, with the cosmos in the middle of the field and the mountains in the distance. Aigo no Sato, where sunflowers, cosmos, and lotus flowers are in full bloom, is a popular photo spot in Saitama Prefecture where visitors can get in touch with nature. The summer of 2025 was a particularly rare year when sunflowers and cosmos could be seen at the same time, creating a spectacular scene of colorful flowers all around. Lotus flowers float on the surface of the water in the early morning, creating a fantastic world. The park, which has an area the size of five Tokyo Domes, is packed with the charms of a satoyama, including a walking course, a farm, an animal petting zoo, and a waterfront area where fireflies can be seen.
