Real-time blooming period of Pohang Homigot canola flowers
Pohang Homigot has been loved by many for its beautiful scenery filled with vibrant yellow canola flowers every spring. Unfortunately, the 2025 canola flower festival has been canceled.
On March 22, a large wildfire occurred in Uiseong, Gyeongbuk, causing significant damage to the local community and forests. As a result, the city of Pohang decided to completely halt the official events planned for April 5 to 6 in the spirit of recovery and remembrance. Many people feel regret due to this.
Basic amenities and some experience booths will be operating on a limited basis for citizens and tourists. However, the canola flower fields in Homigot are still welcoming visitors with their beautiful scenery. This post aims to introduce the real-time blooming period of Homigot canola flowers and nearby attractions worth visiting.
Real-time blooming status of Homigot canola flowers
As of April 10, 2025, the Homigot canola flowers are in full bloom, with over 90% of the flowers opened. This spring, the ideal warm weather has allowed the flowers to bloom slightly earlier than usual. The peak bloom is expected from early to mid-April. Although the festival is canceled, the vast canola flower fields have been established where visitors can leisurely enjoy the flowers.
The bright flower path, centered around Homigot Sunrise Square, is an ideal place to capture special moments in life. It is particularly recommended for families and couples visiting.
Official festival cancellation, only some experience booths operate
This year, the Homigot canola flower festival has canceled all large events such as performances, parades, and food markets. The city of Pohang decided to scale down the festival for memorial and calm atmosphere.
However, for tourists who have already planned their visit, basic amenities such as restrooms, temporary parking lots, and resting spots will operate as usual. Additionally, some small photo zones and canola flower crown experience booths will be provided on a limited basis, so it is advisable to check the Pohang City Hall website or social media announcements before visiting.
Enjoyable time at the Homigot canola flower fields
The canola flower fields in Homigot cover an area of about 150,000 pyeong, providing a refreshing view. In particular, the sunrise at the sunrise square combined with the yellow canola flowers creates a truly attractive landscape.
Additionally, in the center of the canola flower fields, there is a sculpture known as the Hand of Harmony, which is a popular spot where many people come to take photos. There are well-maintained walking paths and observation decks nearby, making it a healing space that allows for enjoyment of both nature and the sea.
Recommended nearby attractions
After enjoying the canola flowers in Homigot, here are some additional attractions worth visiting.
First, the Guryongpo Japanese House Street retains well the architectural style of the 1920s and 30s, providing a place where visitors can leisurely stroll in an exotic atmosphere.
Next, the Yeonorang-Seonyeo Theme Park is based on legendary figures from Pohang and is suitable for visiting with children.
Additionally, the Homigot National Lighthouse Museum is an interesting place to learn about marine culture and the history of lighthouses, making it highly recommended for family visitors.
Finally, as spring is the season for the crab in Guryongpo, it's a great opportunity to enjoy delicious crab dishes after viewing the canola flowers.
Tips for visiting the canola flower fields
To fully enjoy the canola flower fields, a few preparations are needed.
First, it is important to wear comfortable sneakers. Since the sun can be strong, it is also recommended to bring a hat or an umbrella.
Also, if using a stroller or wheelchair, it may be difficult to move around, so it’s good to check the site in advance.
The best time for taking photographs is between 8 AM and 10 AM.
Quiet but still beautiful canola flower spots
The 2025 Pohang Homigot Canola Flower Festival has unfortunately been canceled. Nevertheless, nature still provides us with profound inspiration.
In this calm atmosphere, watching the canola flowers against the backdrop of the vast sky and sea, this place is the perfect spot to cherish the special moments of spring days.
Although there is no festival, I hope this will be a time to realize that the true beauty of spring always exists in nature.
