Hi, All,
I saw some photos of Hokkaido many years ago with sunflower fields and a field of bright red flowers (I think called Sangosou). I want to visit Hokkaido during those period. I googled and found that the season for Sunflowers (mid July - Oct) and Sangosou (Late Aug - Late Sep). So I am planning to visit Hokkaido in Sep so that I get to see both flowers.
My Lonely Planet for Japan doesn't say anything about the place to find these flowers. Can someone advise on where? And also I heard that the weather is changing so maybe the season starts earlier. Is this true?
Until I know where these flower fields are, I have no idea of how I could get around to these areas. I would be travelling alone and could speak bare minimum Japanese. So any advice would be appreciated.
Many, many thanks in advance.
