①Koriyama Nunobiki Wind Plateau

Located on a plateau at an altitude of about 1000m, this is one of Japan's largest wind power plants with 33 windmills, and about 1.8 million sunflowers bloom beneath them. Because it is a plateau, it is also popular as a summer resort. The best time to see the sunflowers is from mid-August to early September.
