Akeno Sunflower Field

The Akeno Sunflower Fields are part of the Hokuto City Akeno Sunflower Festival held every year. Found in the Yamanashi Prefecture, it is a close distance from Tokyo, and fairly easy to get to by train if you would like a break from the city and instead be surrounded by a field of bright, sunny flowers.
