It’s currently the best season to view marigolds at Nokonoshima Island Park (Nishi-ku, Fukuoka City). No less than 30,000 yellow and orange flowers are in bloom, with butterflies floating near the fields too. And what’s more, visitors are free to pick the marigolds and bring them home. “Please come and pick marigolds on a sunny day,” say the park staff. Viewing season is until mid-July.
