"What is this?" I found while walking around Otaru

It's huge...

It's over 2m tall.

I had never even noticed it before.

If you look closely, you'll see it has an incredible presence. It's huge. The breath of summer.

It's full of life.

To be honest, when I see it face to face, I feel overwhelmed.

Until now, it has been considered an unrecognized weed.

I am reminded once again that I have been living my life without seeing anything.

It looks like green corn that has grown by mistake, and yellow flowers are blooming.

I don't know what it's called. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Common name: false corn

*Additional note: I was informed of this.

Real name: Vermilion mullein / Native to North America / Used as a medicinal plant by natives / Related to squid (lol)
