In this photo, I found sunflowers just about to open at the Nogi-machi Sunflower Field and carefully captured their delicate beauty and moment of growth. The Nogi-machi Sunflower Field in Tochigi Prefecture is a popular summer photo spot with its 100,000 sunflowers in full bloom, and the Sunflower Festival in late July offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the local atmosphere, with stalls and events filled with local charm. The paths among the sunflowers, the flowers swaying in the wind, and the color balance with the blue sky make for a picturesque scene no matter where you turn. When you want to feel the power of nature, this is a healing spot to visit on a whim.
