This photo was taken at the sunflower field in Aigo no Sato, looking at the sunflower field in the back through the sunflowers in the front. If you want to encounter a relaxing landscape, go to “Aigo no Sato”. This location, spread out in the satoyama mountains of Saitama, is an attractive place to take pictures because of its natural beauty that changes with each season. In summer, sunflowers blooming majestically against the sky are the very essence of "summer light." In 2025, sunflowers and cosmos bloomed at the same time, a miraculous scene that struck me with the power and tenderness of nature. In the morning, lotus flowers quietly bloom, radiating dignified beauty in the soft light. The park is as large as five Tokyo Domes and is scheduled to be further expanded in the future. Walking along the walking paths, experiencing the four seasons in the botanical garden, and coming into contact with life in the farm and ranch... a pleasant time spent in nature awaits you. The waterside where fireflies fly and the wooded area where wild birds sing are also precious places where you can quietly face nature.
