This photo was taken at Tambara Lavender Park and features striking, fluffy kochia plants in cultivation. I composed it to convey a sense of depth, with the plants extending from the foreground to the background. Their soft, fluffy texture is particularly distinctive. For those seeking a place to see green kochia, I highly recommend Tambara Lavender Park in Gunma Prefecture.Spanning a plateau at 1,300 meters above sea level, the park features vigorously growing kochia thriving in the cool summer climate, characterized by its fluffy, soft texture. The kochia before it turns red is the perfect timing for photography, with August being the peak viewing period.
