Yamaguchi Prefecture's largest sunflower field spreading across the Mutsumi district of Hagi City. Every year from late July to early August, hundreds of thousands of sunflowers bloom toward the sun across the land as far as the eye can reach, dyeing the entire area in a vivid golden color. The panorama woven by the green of the mountains towering behind, the yellow of the sunflowers, and the blue summer sky is overwhelmingly beautiful, making it an excellent photo spot. Events such as mazes utilizing the height of the sunflowers are also held, bustling with families and couples. Enveloped in overwhelming vitality and a sense of openness not found in the city, it is a representative summer sightseeing spot in Hagi where you can receive energy.
