Summer day in Sera Highland, Hiroshima

Not typical sunflower but pretty

If you’ve gotta be away from simmering heat but still want to have a summer memory, go to Sera Highland Farm to see sunflowers and have their fabulous corns and watermelons.

There are a couple of interesting restaurants around there. The one I tried is Oheso Café; the other I’m eager to try is Gomokumeshi. Both use old houses refreshed for their new life. Oheso hosts woofers who spice the place up. You need a car to go and move around there. Hop on a car and go. The traffic is easy but you’ll need navigation or a good map.

Amazingly, there are some 30 species of sunflowers growing on the farm. In total, one million sunflowers are planted. Let me pick up one of the uncommon.

The northern area of Hiroshima Prefecture is pastoral and peaceful. Once in a while you could use cleansing of your mind and body by immersing yourself there.
