TAKASAKI, Gunma — Lovely pink and yellow flowers are in full bloom at the Cosmos Festival, which heralds the arrival of autumn. The festival started on Sept. 11 at Hanadaka Tenbo Hana-no-oka in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, and is scheduled to continue through Oct. 10.
The early-blooming cosmos are currently blossoming, and as the season progresses, a total of 400,000 cosmos consisting of four varieties will bloom, according to a nonprofit organization that manages the flower garden. The garden also features a maze made of golden cosmos.
