！ Rape blossoms are at their best in spring in Machida City, Tokyo.

Rape blossoms are at their best in the fields in the northwestern part of Shikisai-no-mori, Machida Yakushiike Park, near the Botan Garden, Furusato Farmers' Museum and Shichikokuyama Farmers' Center.

These rape blossoms are grown by the Shichikokuyama Fureai-no Sato Association, which consists of local farmers, to preserve the agricultural landscape. After enjoying the flowers, visitors can harvest the rape seeds "Natane," and once a month at the "Furusato Farm Tools Museum" they can demonstrate and sell rapeseed oil squeezing.

Soba (buckwheat) flour from Nanakokuyama Soba ・ made from brown buckwheat harvested last fall will also be available for sale starting April 1.
