For spring flower viewing in Kanuma, the lupine fields at the Kanuma City Flower and Tree Center are a must-see. Lupines, blooming upward like “upside-down wisteria,” paint the landscape in vibrant hues of pink, purple, white, and yellow, creating a beautiful, three-dimensional floral scene. The spacious grounds are perfect for strolling, and the spot offers great photo opportunities with compositions looking up and emphasizing depth.
