There are numerous destinations to enjoy cheerful sunflowers across Japan during the warmer months, and if you're in Ibaraki Prefecture a great event to check out is the Naka Sunflower Festival. Held at the Naka Comprehensive Park, the festival includes over a quarter of a million sunflowers filling a four hectare space.
- Since 2025, the "Naka Sunflower Festival" and the "Industrial Festival" have been combined to become the "Ii Naka Festival."
- The festival now consists of two parts:
- Fireworks Display
- Main Event
Along with the bounty of beautiful blooms to enjoy, the annual event also includes a variety of fun stage events, food booths, and a fireworks display to end the evening.
Admission to the event itself is free of charge, but do bring yen if you plan on purchasing food or drinks.
