Summer sunflower maze

A maze created in a field with about 50,000 sunflowers in northern Japan's Yamagata Prefecture has opened to the public.

Local people use an idle field in Tendo City to make the labyrinth every summer. About 50,000 sunflowers have grown as tall as two meters high. The field is around 5,000 square meters in size.

The path is roughly 500 meters long. The sunflowers are expected to be in peak bloom at the end of July. The maze is free of charge and will be open until early August.
