About 45 minutes outside of Utsunomiya there is a small city named Mashiko. It's most famous for ceramics and it has many shops that sell pottery in many styles ranging from inexpensive cups and dishes to collectible pieces from famous ceramicists.
Nozomi & I noticed information about a sunflower festival, so we decided to visit. It was amazing. I had no idea that there were so many different kinds of sunflowers. There is a small, elevated observation deck next to the field that blooms first in the season. That field was mostly finished already, but I'm posting two pictures that I took from there just to give an idea of the size of the fields. Nearby, there was a section with marigolds and other flowers. The other fields had different kinds of sunflowers, including red ones, which I had never seen before. We had a great time, even though it was VERY hot: around 35 C / 95 F!
