Canola-Blossom Fields in Yokohama Town

About this Attraction

Every spring, Yokohama Town in Aomori Prefecture transforms into a breathtaking sea of yellow as Japan’s largest canola-blossom fields bloom. Spanning an impressive 128 hectares—earning a national record—these radiant flowers line the scenic Hamanasu Highway (National Route 279), offering visitors a stunning visual experience from early to late May. The highlight is the Canola Blossom Festival, held on a weekend in mid-May, when the fields come alive with tourists, local festivities, and vibrant cultural celebrations.

Between majestic mountains and the sea, Yokohama Town is also a haven for food lovers. Locally made canola oil, sweet canola honey, and innovative treats like honey custard-filled cream puffs, creamy soft-serve ice cream, and golden doughnuts showcase the versatility of the canola plant.

Whether you're there for the views, the food, or the festive atmosphere, the canola-blossom fields promise a springtime escape like no other. Don’t miss the chance to witness this golden spectacle in the heart of northern Japan.
