Recommended Attractions
- Yako Happiness Flower Field: Planted with large swaths of cosmos flowers, during blooming season, it looks like pink clouds. It's perfect for taking photos in white, blue, or pink forest-style clothing. Try low-angle shots with the cosmos flowers in the foreground, or overlook the sea of flowers from the second floor of the cafe.
- Yako Rice Paddies: In summer, you can enjoy Miyazaki-esque rice paddies. Around the end of October, the rice paddies turn golden yellow, making them ideal for photos around 3:30 pm. You can also rent bicycles and ride along the paths between the fields.
- Yako East Embankment: With grass skirts, parasols, and beach chairs, it's full of Southeast Asian charm. There are also food trucks. We recommend visiting after 4 pm to enjoy the sunset and the blue hour.
