[Saitama Prefecture] A bright red carpet spreading across Okuchichibu: "Sky Poppies"

Chichibu Kogen Ranch (Sainokuni Fureai Ranch), located at an altitude of 500 meters and spanning Minano Town and Higashichichibu Village in Saitama Prefecture From around mid-May after Golden Week, the "Sky Poppies" will appear, where the green pastures will be covered in bright red poppies. The blue sky and green grass of the fields, which are home to about 12 million red, orange, and pink poppies that have been painstakingly cultivated by local residents, create a truly spectacular sight. The "Sky Poppy Festival" is held every year, but in 2025, the growth of some poppies is poor, so the festival will not be held. The event was unfortunately cancelled. However, many of the poppies are still in full bloom as usual, so you can view them from outside. 📍Location: Chichibu Kogen Ranch (Sainokuni Fureai Ranch), Minano-machi, Chichibu-gun, Saitama Prefecture 🚗Access: About 20 minutes by taxi from Minano Station on the Chichibu Railway, or about 40 minutes by car from Hanazono IC on the Kan-etsu Expressway. 🅿️Parking: A temporary parking lot is open during the festival season, but there is no parking during normal times, so please park at the parking lot of the "Sky Observatory". #EnjoyJapan #GoldenWeek #AmazingView #SaitamaPrefecture #AmazingFlowers
