Of the various blooms that decorate Japan throughout spring, one which is often overlooked is nanohana. Also known as rapeseed blossoms in English, these vibrant yellow flowers can be seen in numerous places across the country – and if you're in Oita Prefecture, one place to check them out is at the Bungotakada Nanohana Festa.
The event sees an incredible 22 million nanohana plants filling a space of 16.5 hectares, covering the area like a yellow carpet. The festival also includes food vendors and a photo competition for any budding photographers out there.
