These photos were taken at Sakura Furusato Plaza, where I felt "the excitement of the end of summer felt at Sakura Furusato Plaza.

This photo was taken at sunset with sunflowers facing upward, the sun, and a windmill. Sakura Furusato Hiroba is well known to many people as one of the most impressive sunflower fields in Chiba Prefecture. As summer draws to a close, the sunflowers that fill the entire plaza delight visitors with their vivid colors. The special attraction of this place is the combination with the setting sun, which can be seen when visiting in the evening. The setting sun turns the sun's rays into a golden hue, and the harmony with the reddening sky creates a beautiful moment that will captivate anyone's heart. If you visit at dusk, you can enjoy the contrast between the ever-changing hues of the sky and the vivid yellow of the sunflowers. Especially on days when the wind is calm, the sunflowers swaying quietly add even more charm to the scene. When taking pictures, it is recommended to take pictures from a low angle with the sky in the background. You will be able to capture the gradation of the vast field of sunflowers and the sunset that fills the sky in one photo. The short period of time just before the setting sun provides an especially dramatic atmosphere and a chance to capture a moving shot.
