Held in October each year, the Kurume City Cosmos Festival is one of the region's most popular autumn events. A stretch of the Jinya River embankment is filled with the flowers for almost four kilometers, and they also bloom at the nearby Kitano Cosmos Park and Kitano Tenmangu Shrine.
Along with the bounty of flowers to enjoy, the two-day festival will also include various food and drink booths, a photo competition, and a sweet potato harvesting experience.
Admission to the event is free, but do bring yen if you plan on making food and drink purchases.
