What to expect
The Sengokuhara plateau transforms into a sea of golden pampas grass, swaying gently in the crisp mountain breeze. The expansive fields create a mesmerizing contrast against the backdrop of the Hakone mountains.
Best viewing tips
Visit in the late afternoon for the best light, as the setting sun casts a warm glow over the grass. Wear comfortable shoes for the 30-minute trail and consider pairing your visit with a nearby onsen for relaxation.
