Kitakata is a charming town located in Fukushima Prefecture. There you can enjoy the retro atmosphere of its streets, and after just a short walk, you can also feel its vast nature. In addition, Kitakata is famous for its ramen noodles called "Kitakata Ramen".
At the Sannokura Highland Sunflower Field (the largest sunflower field in the Tohoku region), approximately 2.5 million sunflowers are in full bloom from summer until fall. The carpet of sunflowers and the natural landscape that spreads out before your eyes is breathtaking!
The Sannokura Highland Sunflower Field is a little bit far from the station, so taking a taxi or other transportation is recommended.
When travelling throughout Kitakata, you may wish to take advantage of the "YUTTARI (relaxing) AIZU TOBU FREE PASS" for wide-range sightseeing from Nikko area to Kitakata area!
