The name Teddy Bear is appropriate.
For Flower fanatics and nature lovers it is best to go from late July through August, where
more than half a million sunflowers bloom.

I was also able to capture a beautiful sun rays on this afternoon.
It was like a perfect scenery, a backdrop of rays with surrounding mountains.
It was a picture of peace and serenity, makes me appreciate nature much more :)
It could be a long drive to Hokuto City, but for fanatics like me, it was all worth it.
Looking forward to visiting this again next year.
