The name of the park, soleil, means “sun” in French, and the bright sunflower fields, which are lit by the sun, are a symbol of the park and are crowded with many visitors every year.

In the park, a total of more than 20 types of sunflowers will bloom in sequence in each area such as the “entrance flower field,” “Soleil Garden,” and “circular flower field.”
The flowering time is staggered for each area so that you can enjoy the flowers for a long period of time, so you can enjoy the flowers until mid-September, mainly during the summer vacation.

This year, as the first collaboration project with the Yokosuka Museum of Art, we will also hold a “Sunflower Garden to Enjoy with Painting”.
In the garden where sunflowers bloom, you can enjoy nature and art by displaying a sunflower painting panel.

Sunflower painting panels drawn by Yokosuka-related painter “Rokuro Taniuchi” and Western-style painter “Shozo Shimada” will be exhibited in the garden.

In early August, varieties based on the images of sunflowers drawn by Van Gogh, Monet, Matisse, etc. are scheduled to bloom.
You can enjoy the panels and flowers that introduce the paintings, such as “Van Gogh’s sunflower” reminiscent of the sun of Southern France and “Monet’s sunflower” which is double-flowered in lemon yellow.
