[Machida City, Tokyo] Autumn tradition of Mt. Shichikuni! Buckwheat flowers are at their peak.
Last year’s situation
Buckwheat flowers are in full bloom in the northwest of Machida Yakushiike Park Shikisai-no-Mori, in the fields near the Peony Garden, Furusato Agricultural Tools Museum, and Shichikokuyama Farmers Center. These buckwheat flowers are cultivated by the Shichikuniyama Fureai no Sato Association, which is made up of local farmers, in order to preserve the agricultural landscape. After enjoying the flowers, we collect the buckwheat seeds and sell them as buckwheat and buckwheat flour at the Furusato Agricultural Tools Museum from around April every year.
