Poppy Festival Coloring the Sky

Overview

The Poppy Festival Coloring the Sky, held in Higashichichibu Village, Saitama Prefecture, is a stunning display of 15 million poppies blooming across the Chichibu Kogen Bokujo (Chichibu Plateau Farm). The best time to visit is from mid-May to early June. During the festival, shuttle buses run from Chichibu Railway's Minano Station on weekends, but weekdays require a bus to Misawa Post Office followed by a 30-minute uphill walk. For drivers, temporary parking opens early, recommended for avoiding congestion and seeing the poppies in their morning glory. The vibrant red, pink, and white poppies create a breathtaking carpet against the sky, offering a memorable experience for flower enthusiasts and photographers alike.
