Each year, typically on the first Sunday of November, the town of Maenohama in Kagoshima Prefecture is home to a cosmos festival. Along with the spacious fields of colorful flowers to appreciate, the event has a range of stage performances including taiko drumming, along with food booths and local produce available for purchase.
One of the fun elements of this festival are the unique scarecrows set up around the fields - there are ones made to look like samurai, characters from Japanese folklore tales, and more.
Admission to the event is free of charge.
