Zama, Urban center in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

Zama extends across 17.58 square kilometers of land, encompassing both alluvial lowlands along the Sagami River and portions of the Sagamino Plateau.

The area contains archaeological sites from the Jomon period, and the hamlet of Izama functioned as a post station on the Tokaido road.

The Zama Festival brings the community together through traditional parades, music performances, and local food offerings throughout the celebrations.

The city connects to Tokyo and Yokohama through the Odakyu Electric Railway and JR East Sagami Line, supporting daily commuter travel.

Zama's sunflower fields host two separate festivals during July and August, presenting expansive displays of yellow blooms across multiple locations.
