< Sanzu River | Back to Title of Contents | Giant Toad's Pond > Garden of the Sun Threat level: Medium Encounterable youkai: Fairies, etc. If you go towards the heart of Gensokyo from the opposite side of mountain during summer, you'll find a meadow filled with dazzling yellow. This field is called the Garden of the Sun, and the yellow comes from a great number of sunflowers. The Garden of the Sun is generally in the shape of a south-facing bowl, so it's hard to see from afar. The field is some distance away from the human village, but its beauty is worth at least a glance. However, this sunflower field becomes a concert venue for spirited youkai at night. If you carelessly get caught in one, you'll likely be surrounded by a great number of youkai (*1). The sunflowers themselves are quite ordinary, so the field is a popular sunbathing spot for fairies in the day. Even if you came during the day, you'd be ridiculed by a great number of fairies. I'd like to gaze at the field while hidden from far away. The sunflowers in this field are always facing directly towards the sun, but this is just because of the fairies playing beneath the them (*2). 1: This might not be a problem during the concert, but getting back would be difficult. Events such as the Prismriver performances occur here often. 2: In the same way sunflowers dance when they hear sounds. < Sanzu River | Back to Title of Contents | Giant Toad's Pond >
