Lavender is in full bloom at the Sennen no Sono Lavender Field in Ranzan, Saitama Prefecture. About 22,000 plants in 16 varieties are growing in the about 6.5-hectare field where the Lavender Festival is being held. During the event, visitors can pick the sweet-smelling flowers and make lavender sticks. The event runs through Sunday. The venue is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with admission until 3 p.m. “It’s a breathtaking view,” said a company employee from Tokyo’s Nerima Ward. “The fragrance wafting in the wind is soothing.”
