<\/p>\nUminaka Kite Festival takes place on the expansive lawn at Uminonakamichi Seaside Park. Around one million nemophila flowers blanket the hills in blue, creating a scene where sky and ground seem to merge as kites fill the air overhead.<\/p>\n
A highlight is the \u201cballoon kite,\u201d including a giant whale up to 50 meters long that appears to swim across the sky. Uniquely shaped kites will also be on display, making the most of the park\u2019s wide-open space. A kite-making workshop (\u00a5500) is available, where children can fly their own creations on the spot.<\/p>\n
