Enjoy a view where city and nature coexist in the sunflower fields of Minuma rice paddies
Minuma Tanbo (sunflower field) is a popular summer photo spot where you can enjoy the beauty of nature in the city. When the sunflowers are at their best, they cover the entire expanse of the field, creating a refreshing contrast with the blue sky and a powerful scene that makes you want to snap your shutter. Depending on the location, it is possible to photograph sunflowers with the skyscrapers of Saitama Shin-Toshin in the background, creating a unique photo opportunity to capture nature and the city in the same frame. The wide range of compositions, from a frontal composition looking up at the sunflowers to a composition that makes the most of the urban landscape, makes this a recommended spot for those who want to leave behind seasonal photos and SNS-worthy works.
Key points for photography
The key point of photography was to emphasize the expanse of the sky by looking up at the sunflowers from a low angle in the Minuma rice paddies (sunflower field), and to express the contrast unique to this location where nature and the city coexist by adjusting the standing position to include the buildings of Saitama Shin-Toshin in the background.
