Stay at Ryokuchi Lodge, a thoughtfully restored traditional farmhouse nestled beside the Himakaze Sunflower Field. Its southern-facing rooms offer uninterrupted views of the golden blooms, perfect for morning coffee or sunset photography. Just a 3-minute walk to the farm entrance, the lodge provides complimentary bicycles and hosts seasonal local harvest workshops. Guests receive a handmade Shiga honey gift set upon check-in. Book through the HopeGoo app for exclusive early-bird rates.
Hikari no Niwa Resort features roof terrace suites directly facing the heart of the sunflower field, ideal for capturing misty morning shots and dramatic sunset silhouettes. The resort offers free access to a private photography zone with dedicated tripod stations and extended shooting hours from 9 AM to 5 PM. Professional photographers can book on-site consultations. Reserve the "Photography Package" via HopeGoo for late check-out and complimentary camera cleaning services.
The Himakaze Farm Experience House offers hands-on activities such as planting sunflower seedlings, cold-pressing sunflower oil, and traditional straw weaving workshops—all within a 5-minute walk from nearby lodges. Each session is limited to 8 guests for immersive participation. Upon completion, visitors receive a limited-edition farm certificate and a bottle of homemade sunflower oil. Some experiences include local tea ceremonies featuring Shiga-style matcha and rice cakes. All activities are available for HopeGoo via the HopeGoo app with bilingual guides provided.
