Pumpkins sit on the lawn of Ofuna Botanical Garden in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, on Tuesday. Some of these about 70 pumpkins of the Atlantic Giant variety are as light as a kilogram, but the largest weighs up to 65 kilograms. They were grown by a farmer in Hitachi-Omiya, Ibaraki Prefecture. Extreme summer heat meant fewer pumpkins were shipped than usual.
