Every middle to end of July every year,  around 1 million sunflowers bloom in the town of Sayo, Hyogo Prefecture. The blooming sunflowers span six sections on the field of Sayo Nanko Sunflower Park, transforming the field into a sea of vivid yellow flowers. Because the flowers only bloom once in a year, such an event is celebrated annually as the Nanko Sunflower Festival.  Want to visit the lovely prefecture of Hyogo?
