Despite being located near the center of Kanagawa Prefecture, Zama has an excellent natural environment, as demonstrated by the fact that a groundwater source is used for its waterworks. By all means, please visit Zama, which hosts the traditional Giant Kite Festival in May with a history of over 200 years and a giant kite weighing roughly 1 ton and the Sunflower Festival in August that boasts about 550,000 sunflowers.
