Hello! I’m SacChi, a blogger exploring seasonal beauty in Kochi, Shikoku, Japan.
As autumn deepens in Kochi, I’m introducing Takasu Cosmos Fields (高須コスモス畑)—a spectacular flower carpet spreading across the Takasu area of Kochi City.
Every year during this season, cosmos fields across the region burst into pink and white blooms, creating breathtaking flower carpets. What makes this spot special? It’s accessible right within Kochi City limits.
Beloved by locals and visited by photographers from across Japan, this has become one of Kochi’s “autumn traditions” (秋の風物詩).

🌸 A Sea of Cosmos Blooming Across ~10 Hectares
Takasu Cosmos Fields are located near residential areas in Takasu, Kochi City, along Nangoku Bypass.
Peak season: Mid-October to early November, when flowers bloom simultaneously, announcing autumn’s arrival.
The visual: Pink, white, and gradient hues create beautiful layers. When wind blows, the flowers sway like ocean waves—truly nature’s living art.
The contrast against blue sky is stunning. Mornings offer especially soft light, perfect for photography 📷
Walking paths wind through the fields, with areas where you can approach flowers closely for photos.
💚 Community Gift: Rice Farmers’ 17-Year Tradition
These fields are normally used as rice paddies. A local rice farming cooperative has been planting cosmos seeds in post-harvest fields for 17 years—a gift to the community saying, “We want locals to enjoy this.”
🐕 Beloved Autumn Walking Path for Locals
The charm of Takasu Cosmos Fields isn’t as a tourist attraction, but as “a healing spot woven into daily life.”
Scenes that warm the heart:
- Neighbors walking dogs through flower paths
- Children running between blooming stems
- Locals pausing their routines to breathe in beauty
I brought my dog for the first time this year. The 360-degree cosmos panorama was healing for both of us—my pup seemed delighted too! 😊
Time-of-day transformations:
- Daytime under blue sky: Fresh, vibrant impression
- Evening with golden hour: Flowers dyed in gold Completely different expressions depending on when you visit.
⚠️ Important Access Note
No parking lot available. Please use public transportation when possible.

🌼 Summary | Kochi’s Autumn: Time That Fills Your Soul
Takasu Cosmos Fields isn’t a flashy tourist destination. It’s Kochi’s “healing sanctuary” where you feel nature’s gentleness and local community warmth.
Watching cosmos flowers sway in the breeze, the hectic pace of daily life slowly unravels.
During autumn drives or walks through Kochi, please stop by.
The flower carpet spreading across quiet farmland will gently embrace your heart. 🌼
Why I share these moments: As someone who moved to rural Shikoku for work, I’ve learned that the best “attractions” often aren’t marketed. Takasu’s cosmos fields—planted by rice farmers, enjoyed by neighbors, free for all—represent community generosity as tourism infrastructure. No tickets, no gates, just trust. The 17-year tradition proves sustainability comes from locals caring for locals, with visitors as grateful witnesses. This is tourism at its gentlest. 🌸
