This is believed to be due to the opening period being 3 days shorter than usual, the timing coinciding with the spread of the 7th wave of the new corona virus, and the effects of rainfall. The busiest day was August 11 (Thursday, national holiday) with 5,277 visitors. The number of visitors also exceeded 5,000 on Sunday, August 7.<\/p>\r\n<p>&lt;Past year&#8217;s arrivals&gt;<br \/>\r\n\u3000\u25a065,753 people in 2019<br \/>\r\n\u3000\u25a064,651 people in 2018<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"b-spot\"><h2>Tsunan Sunflower Plaza<\/h2><div class=\"gmap\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.co.jp\/maps?output=embed&hl=en&q=%E3%80%92949-8202%20%E6%96%B0%E6%BD%9F%E7%9C%8C%E4%B8%AD%E9%AD%9A%E6%B2%BC%E9%83%A1%E6%B4%A5%E5%8D%97%E7%94%BA%E8%B5%A4%E6%B2%A2\" width=\"100%\" height=\"240\"><\/iframe><\/div><div class=\"b-spot-detail\"><div class=\"b-spot-lt\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Still0808_00001-2-scaled.jpg\"><\/div><div class=\"b-spot-rt\"><p class=\"outline\">August 1 - August 21, 2022 *Finished this year<\/p><p class=\"info\"><b>Address: <\/b>Akazawa, Tsunan-cho, Naka-uonuma-gun, Niigata 949-8202<br><b>Tel: <\/b>Tsunan Town Tourist Association  025-765-5585<br><\/p><p class=\"btn\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.co.jp\/maps\/place\/%E3%80%92949-8202%20%E6%96%B0%E6%BD%9F%E7%9C%8C%E4%B8%AD%E9%AD%9A%E6%B2%BC%E9%83%A1%E6%B4%A5%E5%8D%97%E7%94%BA%E8%B5%A4%E6%B2%A2?hl=en\">Google Map<i class=\"fas fa-fw fa-map-marker-alt\"><\/i><\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A summer tradition, &#8230;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18089,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/?p=18088","footnotes":""},"categories":[254],"tags":[703,702],"class_list":["post-18104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-topic","tag-sunflower-field","tag-tsunan-town","en-US"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yukiguni-journey.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
