This photograph captures the scene at Tannō's sunflower field when I visited, after the flowers had already withered. It's a striking image where I superimposed my own feelings onto that sense of desolation. If you want to feel summer's arrival, Tannō's sunflower field is a must-see. The sight of sunflowers stretching as far as the eye can see, chasing the sun, is a powerful and beautiful symbol of summer.Escaping the city's hustle and bustle to feel the breath of the season amidst tranquil countryside scenery is another charm. Being enveloped in vivid yellow is an experience sure to become a special photo, coloring your travel memories and photo albums.
