Get ready for a burst of color and joy!
From March 11 to March 31, 2025, the Okinawa Peace Memorial Park will be blooming with a stunning “Sunflower Field.” 
This isn’t just any sunflower display — it features sunflowers grown from seeds nurtured in Fukushima Prefecture, making it a heartfelt tribute to resilience and hope.
A Meaningful Tribute
This year marks 14 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, and it’s the 10th time this event has blossomed.
The project is part of the “Fukushima-Okinawa Bond Project,” aiming to foster connections and preserve the memory of not only the earthquake but also the tragic Battle of Okinawa from 80 years ago. 
What to Expect
Prepare to be amazed! These sunflowers can grow as tall as 2 meters, providing the perfect backdrop for your photos — consider it a natural filter for your Instagram feed! 
But they’re not just pretty — they symbolize peace and positivity, offering a powerful reminder to all who visit.
Best viewing period: Late March to mid-April — perfect for families looking to spend a day outdoors.
Bonus: Children will love the nearby playground, making it a fun day for everyone!
