This photo captures sunflowers and the expansive blue sky at Aigo no Sato's sunflower field. Aigo no Sato, a nature-rich photography and walking spot in Saitama Prefecture, allows you to experience the changing seasons firsthand. Especially in summer, sunflowers blooming toward the blue sky create a breathtaking landscape. In 2025, the simultaneous blooming of cosmos alongside the sunflowers became a popular sight, offering a rare and precious view of a vibrant sea of colorful flowers. At the lotus pond, lotus flowers blooming early in the morning float on the water's surface, creating a fantastical atmosphere. The vast grounds, spanning approximately 250,000 square meters, feature a botanical garden, farmland, a ranch, and natural environments where fireflies dance, making it a healing place to experience Saitama's nature.
