The weekend of the 16th to 17th of
August is Takanabe’s Sunflower festival. The main attraction is one of the
largest group of sunflower fields in the world.
You can view the sunflowers from the platforms set up or just wander
through the fields. There are food stalls and entertainment. The sunflowers are
grown in fields which are normally used to grow cabbages so there are a lot of
cabbage based products as well. On the final day of the festival, you are
allowed to pick and take home the sunflowers as they will be cut down the next day
to make room for all the cabbages.

I read in a Japanese website that there are 11 million sunflowers - that means it is even bigger than hokuryu town in Hokkaido which has about 1,500,000 blooms. Appreciate it if you could please answer my question cos I am writing an article for a newspaper and my deadline is 12 noon today. Thanks a lot.
