Located in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, a hilly city, the "Hokuto Meino Sunflower Festival" themed around sunflowers is held annually from late July to late August. The venue spans three sites including the Kouyama Wide Agricultural Road, where about 600,000 sunflowers bloom in a vast sea.

The sunflower fields in Japan's Kanto region can be said to have the highest density in all of Japan, among which the Meino Sunflower Field boasts the largest-scale sunflower field in the Kanto area, with thousands upon thousands of sunflowers blooming in each field, creating a spectacularly beautiful scenery.
