This photo was taken at Sakura Furusato Plaza, where I felt it was a "spectacular spot for sunset and sunflowers."

This photo was taken just before sunset, during the brightest part of the day. I found the flow of the view from the sunflower field to the windmill particularly beautiful. Sakura Furusato Plaza is renowned in Chiba Prefecture for its especially beautiful sunflower fields. The sunflowers blooming across the vast grounds reach their peak towards the end of summer, captivating visitors. Among these, the view at sunset is especially memorable.The sunflower fields, illuminated by the setting sun, glow golden, harmonizing perfectly with the sunset that paints the entire sky red and orange. This fantastical scene is a work of art created by nature itself, offering an unforgettable, moving experience. Visiting during sunset allows you to witness the sky's colors change moment by moment as the sun sets, making the sunflowers' vivid yellow stand out even more.On particularly calm days, the gentle swaying of the sunflowers creates an even more dramatic atmosphere. Furthermore, photographing the sunflower field from a low angle with the sky as a backdrop allows you to capture both the sky's gradient and the beauty of the sunflowers simultaneously. The time just before sunset is the perfect shutter opportunity for photography enthusiasts.
