Igei, Kin is a prominent rice-growing region in Okinawa. In the Igei rice fields, cosmos flowers are in full bloom. The beautiful weather on February 20th brought people to the fields to be delighted by the colorful flowers swaying in the wind.

In December of last year, following the second rice harvest, locals scattered cosmos seeds across approximately 25,000 square meters of rice fields. The flowers blooming across the area conjure feelings of an early spring. Kyoko Kinjo and Natsumi Yohena, who came from Naha to visit the fields, say “We saw the flowers on a friend’s Instagram and decided to come ourselves. We were surprised by how beautiful it is.”
