Discover more about Yuyama district Scallion field.

Located in Fukubecho Yuyama, near the Tottori Sand Dunes, the Yuyama District Scallion Field presents a picturesque scene, particularly when the Japanese scallion flowers are in full bloom. Tottori Prefecture is the top producer of rakkyo (Japanese scallions) in Japan, with the Fukube district being the leading production area. The Tottori Sakyu Rakkyo and Fukube Sakyu Rakkyo, grown near the sand dunes, are recognized under the Geographical Indication (GI) protection system. Rakkyo bulbs are planted by hand between July and September and harvested in May and June. The sandy soil contributes to the scallions' firm, white flesh and crispy texture. While the blooming of flowers can vary depending on the weather, the fields typically display a beautiful reddish-purple hue in late October and early November. The vibrant flowers create a scenic contrast with the surrounding landscape, making it a popular spot for photographers and nature enthusiasts. While visiting the scallion fields, consider exploring other nearby attractions such as the Tottori Sand Dunes and the Sand Museum.
