Since I moved to Okinawa 2 years ago, I kept seeing photos of these gorgeous cosmos flower fields in Kin and have been desperate to visit them ever since. The challenge is the fact that they only bloom for a very short time every year and I kept missing it!
I was crazy busy with work in January and only got one day off before a work trip to London. The day was lovely and we decided to head out to see these flowers. They were so lovely!
These cosmos fields are planted between rice crops because apparently they do something good to the soil. I have absolutely no idea what they do, but they look so pretty! I basically took about a hundred photos of the same thing, but I just couldn't stop because the cosmos were so pretty!
There is no parking spot near the cosmos fields, so you just park on the side of the road wherever you can find space. Be careful that you are leaving enough room for other cars to get past you. The field has designated walking paths with lots of signs telling you not to go off the paths, but there are a couple of areas good for photos without the ropes in the way. It seems a lot of people come here for professional photo shoots.
