Soothing the Soul in the Vast Red Flower Fields of Yamagata

A Scenic Corner in the Mountainous Area

In the quiet mountains of Nishiokitama District, Yamagata Prefecture, there is a scenic spot where a carpet of red flowers spreads across the slope. The red flowers, planted all over the hillside, create a once-in-a-lifetime landscape to experience only in the summer.

The Best Time to See the Flowers is in Mid-July

Due to its high elevation, the red flowers are usually in full bloom around mid-July each year. It is recommended to enjoy the vibrant colors of the flowers glistening in the early morning silence.

The Healing Sound of Wind Chimes

Occasionally, carried by a refreshing breeze, the clear sound of the red flower-patterned wind chimes resonates. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, enveloped by nature, the pleasant feeling experienced through the five senses is sure to help relieve the fatigue of daily life.

Delicious Local Flavors

Locally handmade goods and dishes and drinks made with red flowers are available for purchase, making it a good opportunity for souvenirs. The simple taste of red flower tea is especially delicious when enjoyed while overlooking the fields.

Don't Miss the Touching Moment

Due to its relatively low recognition, you can enjoy a peaceful stroll, but once the flowers are past their peak, this once-in-a-lifetime view will disappear. It's definitely the best retreat and relaxing space for summer.

I passed by on July 17, 2023. Apparently there was a safflower wind chime festival going on, so they were selling goods and safflowers, and we were treated to free safflower tea by the friendly locals. The view was spectacular, and the panoramic view and vast safflower fields were spectacular. Also, there was a good breeze, and the rattling sound of the safflower-patterned wind chimes on display was very pleasant. Unfortunately, I don't think the place is well-known, and there are no signs in front of it, so many people walk past it because they don't know what it's doing at first glance. I was lucky to see some beautiful scenery.

Visited on July 24, 2022. A field of safflower cultivated neatly on a slope. The view is good. When you think of Yamagata, you think of safflower, but there are few places where you can see this much safflower. There are tents set up where you can take a break during the peak viewing season. Probably because it was evening, there was no one there. Unfortunately, there were not many flowers after harvest.

The safflower that spreads all over is worth seeing. I thought it was the widest thing I've ever seen.

The place has become a safflower field since 2021. Since it is located at a high altitude, the best time to see it is even in mid-July.

I think now is the best time to see them.
