Soni Highland is a stunning hilly area at the foot of Mt. Nikohoboso and Mt. Kame, known for its expansive silver grass fields. The landscape transforms from lush greenery in spring and summer to a sea of waving plumes in autumn, glowing golden at sunset. Located in Nara Prefecture, it's accessible by bus (20-minute walk from the Soni Kogen bus stop) or car (50 minutes from Meihan National Highway Hari I.C.). Enjoy hiking trails with panoramic views. Visit in the late afternoon for the best light. Parking is available for a fee.
