Sunflowers in Zama city

Sunflower festival in Zama city in Kanagawa prefecture.
It is one of the most huge sunflower fields around Tokyo where you can see 550,000 sunflowers.
Farmers started to open up their fields to the public for the sunflower festival about 30 years ago.
They grow the sunflowers after the harvest of wheat in June to avoid growing undesirable weeds and remove toxins.
The weather was unstable due to the typhoon on that day, and it rained heavily a few minutes after I took this video.
But thanks to such weather, the shape of the clouds were very beautiful.
