Regarding use of photos

Every year from late September to early October, white buckwheat flowers bloom like a pure white carpet at the foot of Mt. Hakodate, creating a scene of autumn in Imazu. These buckwheat flowers eventually bear fruit, which are harvested and turned into the famous Hakodate soba, a delicious treat. (The location of the buckwheat fields varies from year to year.) You can also try making authentic soba noodles at the Yumeno Experience Center, located in Imazu General Athletic Park near the buckwheat fields.
