For Mizubasho, most famous field is Oze swamp(but sorry I have never been there) due to a famous japanese fork song, you know. I remember natural Katakuri flower field at the top of Mt. Tsukuba. They say there are 30 thousand Katakuri flowers in 20,000 m2 area ( http://www.ttca.jp/?p=1552), they are on the forest floor as you said. Actually I don't know they are *natural*, but they say so.
Maybe you can check a list of Natural monuments designated by Japanese government. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A4%8D%E7%89%A9%E5%A4%A9%E7%84%B6%E8%A8%98%E5%BF%B5%E7%89%A9%E4%B8%80%E8%A6%A7#.E8.A2.AB.E5.AD.90.E6.A4.8D.E7.89.A9.E3.83.BB.E5.8D.98.E5.AD.90.E8.91.89.E9.A1.9E (sorry it is written in Japanese) muramoto 2015-11-04 21:47 GMT+09:00 johnw <jo...@mac.com>: > > On Nov 4, 2015, at 8:52 PM, tomoya muramoto <muramototom...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > to a flower field grown naturally (not planted by man).
