This is the current flowering status of Sunflower Village on Wednesday, August 9th.
At Sunflower Village, the rain last weekend has caused the sunflowers that were in full bloom to droop and begin to wither in many places.
The sunflowers lining the path of the jumbo maze lifted their heads with a heavy look on their faces and bowed in unison...
Every now and then, the mischievous Himawari pops out and greets you with a big smile...
The sunflower's petals have fallen off and its face has turned brown, but the seeds have been removed and smiling faces are now everywhere...
With boundless love, gratitude, and prayers, I send these magnificent sunflowers their last bit of strength, enjoying to the fullest the final stage of their lives, and blooming to the fullest without any regrets.

Sunflower Village Flowering Status Information Board
Jumbo Maze
In front of the Himawari sightseeing car reception
Sunflower bows her head heavily
A mischievous sunflower pops her head out
A dignified and blooming sunflower
Three close sisters chatting...
As if enjoying life to the fullest...
Red dragonfly taking a rest
Summoning his last bit of strength...
"Thank you!" to the sunflowers blooming with all their might.
Words of gratitude echo throughout the sunflower village.
Thank you, fat duck, for the fun time!
A view watched over by a triple waterwheel...
A view of Sunflower Park Hokuryu Onsen in the distance...
The view to the east from the top of the hill...
The Jumbo Maze Field is past its peak bloom...
Wide blue sky and a field on a hill
Roadside thistles sparkling in raindrops
A landscape of low, stagnant rain clouds...
A little sunflower is happy to be carried on someone's shoulders, facing the blue sky
