How do you do!
My name is Hokuryu Town Tourism Association "Hokuryu Town Himawari Tourism Association".

Hokuryu-cho, Hokkaido is located about 2 hours by car from Sapporo and is a small town with a population of about 1,600 people.

Hokuryu Town is famous nationwide for its "sunflower fields", and last year in 2022, it ranked first in the "sunflower fields" that I want to go to in the summer of 2022!

"Hokuryucho Sunflower Village" is one of the largest sunflower fields in the Japan, with about 2 million sunflowers blooming on the site of about five Tokyo Domes, and is visited by about 200,000 tourists from all over Japan during the season.

From the two-story observatory near the parking lot, it is also the best photo spot where you can see the entire sunflower field.
Please enjoy the spectacular view of the bright yellow all over the place!

In addition, the best time to see the sunflowers is from late July to mid-August, and the "Sunflower Festival" is held at this time.
Last year in 2022, the Sunflower Maze, the sightseeing wheel "Himawari-go" with an explanation guide about Hokuryu Town and Sunflowers, and rare sunflower exhibitions from around the world were held.

Hokuryu Town is a sunflower favorite area, but you can see the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in autumn, and we recommend the roadside station "Sunflower Park Hokuryu Onsen" where you can enjoy a day-trip hot spring, and "Kinpira Park" where you can enjoy camping and outdoor barbecues!

Hokuryu Town's specialties include "Hokuryu Sunflower Melon", which has a reputation for high sugar content, "Hokuryu Sunflower Suika", a small yellow ball, and "Hokuryu Town Sunflower Oil" grown in Hokuryu Town, all of which are exquisite gourmet foods that are perfect for souvenirs.

Please enjoy these sightseeing spots and exquisite gourmet food along with the sunflowers of Hokuryu Town!
