Why You Should Visit
Yamakaji Farm in Noguchi-cho, Higashiomi, turns its summer sunflower field into a cosmos field each autumn. The Ohmi Railway line runs right beside the field, so you can frame the flowers and a passing train in the same shot, which has made it a well-known photo spot. Visitors can walk into the field to take pictures or simply stroll around, and a free pass covers repeat visits during the season. The farm is run by Rokkaku Co. / Yamakaji Farm, which grows rice, soybeans and vegetables. A good pick for rail and flower photographers, or families after an easy autumn outing in eastern Shiga.
