Stay at Mori no Yado Himawari, a boutique ryokan nestled right at the entrance of the sunflower fields. Enjoy panoramic views of golden blooms from floor-to-ceiling windows, with sunrise scenes perfectly framed each morning.

The property offers handcrafted sunflower seed oil gift sets as welcome amenities and features an outdoor grill area for farm-to-table dining. Guests can also join seasonal harvest workshops at the nearby Kōtō Agricultural Exchange Center, just 500 meters away. For availability and exclusive rates, book through the HopeGoo app.

Take the Kōtō Line Bus from Ōita Station—about 45 minutes with regular departures and scenic countryside views along the way. The best hotel within walking distance is Mori no Yado Himawari, just a 3-minute walk from the "Himawari-ko Mae" bus stop.

This guesthouse offers free parking and electric bike rentals for exploring nearby farmland trails. We highly recommend the "Sunflower View Room," which features a private terrace facing the fields. Guests often capture stunning sunrise shots and night skies illuminated by rural lanterns. Book early via the HopeGoo platform for special rates.

During peak bloom, don’t miss the Sunflower Craft Workshop held daily at 10 AM in the field’s activity plaza—learn to make dried-flower sachets or wreaths using harvested petals.

The weekly Kōtō Local Market on Saturdays features fresh sunflower seed cookies, red bean soup, and regional rice wine. Additionally, Mori no Yado Himawari offers a guided "Sunrise Field Run," where guests jog along the paddies at dawn, breathing in crisp air and floral scents.
