✤Let’s enjoy feeling the changing of the season with the flowers from Shonai.
Plenty of flower varieties are cultivated in Shonai region, reaching 30% of share among all flowers produced in Yamagata prefecture. The diversity comes from rich varieties of terrain, such as intermediate-mountain areas at the foot of Mt Chokai and Mt Gassan, the flat land of the Shonai Plain and the sand dunes near the sea.
Especially, stock, lisianthus and lily are main items in Shonai region, accounting for more than half of the production in prefecture.
In addition, they cultivate flowers that color your life throughout the year, such as Japanese spray mum, celosia and Keio-sakura (cherry blossom).
