Cosmos flowers in Kurihama Flower Park delayed

Every year in October there is a pretty famous cosmos festival in Kurihama flower park, Yokosuka City. Kurihama flower park is about a fifteen minute walk from both the JR Kurihama and Keikyu Kurihama Stations. This year their cosmos festival started on September 20th. However, there is one problem; the cosmos in the main flower field are late to bloom! And they are not expected to be in prime viewing until November this year. 

The park speculates that the hotter and dryer than normal summer has delayed the start of the cosmos flowers in the main field.  But there are other cosmos in the park, which started to bloom as usual and are actually in bloom now. As a result, they have decided to extend the period of the cosmos festival until November 24th. It was originally scheduled to end November 3rd 

During the period of the cosmos festival they have various events, such as a children's festival area, a cardboard maze and some workshops. The cosmos picking event, which is a highlight for many, will now be at a later time than first scheduled, again due to the delayed cosmos. The cosmos picking will now be on November 23rd and 24th.
