#100 Travel Styles Nara Prefecture♥It's like the world of "Heidi, Girl of the Alps"● A famous spot that always appears in Japanese scenic magazines ( Right from P Soni Plateau is famous for its autumn pampas grass, but it's also a scenic spot in spring Soni Plateau with fresh green leaves. Please take a look at the standard and unique compositions The first photo is an observation deck, so you can get there by walking for about an hour from the parking lot. It's tiring There is also a way to go without paying the parking fee. On the way, there is a place called Soni Plateau Arm (with Okame no Yu attached) so you can park your car there and enjoy the mountain path for free. *It's a hiking trail, so even I, who is a level 2 hiker (I usually only exercise 3000 steps), could make it. It takes about 35 minutes to get to the parking lot at Soni Plateau. On the way back, I went to Onoyu to relax in the high-quality hot springs. It's pretty empty (514), so I highly recommend "Soni Plateau."

The pampas grass spreads out as far as the eye can see. I heard it's beautiful in the evening when it reflects the setting sun, but I went to #SoniPlateau in the afternoon. On the way back, there is a day spa called Okame-no-Yu nearby. The slippery water will leave you feeling smooth and moisturized! If you're going to SoniPlateau, be sure to stop by. #SoniPlateau #NaraPrefecture #Okame-no-Yu #AmazingView #NaraPrefecture

The Soni Plateau spreads out at the foot of Mount Kuraizumi, one of Japan's 300 famous mountains, and is popular as a place where golden silver grass grows in the fall. It's a spot that can be enjoyed many times, as it shows various scenes throughout the year, from a blanket of snow in winter, to mountain burning in spring, to a carpet of lush green in summer. The best time to visit is from early October to late November, when the silver grass looks beautiful and golden. There is a difference in elevation, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes! 📌 〒633-1202 Tarajiro, Soni Village, Uda District 📌Ease of Access ★★☆☆☆ Basically, it's difficult to get to the place except by car.

Soni Village is famous for the "Soni Plateau," but the central village area, through which the Shorenji River flows, is also a wonderful place rich in history and nature. This time, we visited Kadofusa Shrine, located in the Imai district ⛩ This shrine, the tutelary shrine of the eight districts of Soni Village, is an ancient shrine said to have been founded during the reign of Emperor Yuryaku, the 21st emperor. It is also listed in the Heian period's "Engishiki" Jinmyocho (list of shrines) as one of the 17 shrines in Uda District, Yamato Province ✍️ The enshrined deities are the four Kasuga gods: Amatsu-Koyane-no-Mikoto, Takemikazuchi-no-Mikoto, Futsunushi-no-Mikoto, and Hime-no-Okami, as well as Tamanooya-no-Mikoto, Ame-no-Tajikarao-no-Mikoto, and Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto. Since the gods of Kasuga are enshrined here, there's a bronze deer statue 🦌💕︎ Kadofusa Shrine is also known for the "Soni Lion Dance," which was performed at the Osaka-Kansai Expo. With a history of approximately 300 years, it is now held every October on the Sunday before Sports Day 🍂 It features a rich variety of performances, including Hōmai (devotional dance), Shinzenmai (dance before the gods), Akumabarai (exorcism), Sankagura (sacred dance), Shishiodori (lion dance), Tsugijishi (joined lion dance), and Aramai (wild dance), and its high quality has led to its designation as a prefectural intangible folk cultural property ✨️ It seems to be performed by the Hōmai groups of the three major districts of Nagano, Imai, and Igami. This year's performance has already finished, but I hope to go see it sometime in the future 🥰 Also, the giant ginkgo tree standing in front of the shrine's torii gate is a rare "Ohatsuki Ginkgo," which bears fruit on its leaves, and is a prefectural natural monument. It's the season when the leaves start to change color, isn't it? ☺️ 【Innorn】 📍 733 Imai, Soni Village, Uda District, Nara Prefecture 🚗 Approximately 30 minutes from Uda City (near Haibara Station) 🅿️ Parking available (small space) ⁡. ⁡ ⁡. ⁡#NaraPrefecture #SoniVillageNaraPrefecture #SoniVillage #MonbokuShrine #SoniLionDance #LionDance #IntangibleFolkCulturalProperty #ShrineAndTempleLover #ShrineAndTempleTour #SoniTourism #NaraShrine #NaraTourism #NaraTravel #NaraStroll⁡⁡

Last weekend, I finally visited Soni Highlands and World Ranch, places I'd been wanting to go for a while! First, I went to Soni Highlands in Nara Prefecture. The contrast between the vast green carpet, the endless blue sky, and the white clouds was absolutely stunning ✨ Climbing the wooden slope felt just like hiking. It's no wonder it's been chosen as one of "Japan's Most Beautiful Villages"—the scenery is breathtaking ⛰️ Afterward, I traveled to Osaka and went to World Ranch. I was able to interact with the adorable sheep and goats up close, and it was truly relaxing 🐑💕 The soft-serve ice cream at the ranch was rich and delicious 🍦 It was a fantastic holiday, filled with healing from nature and energized by the animals! I highly recommend you all visit! 😊 #SoniHighlands #NaraTourism #ScenicSpot #Japan'sMostBeautifulVillage #WorldRanch #OsakaTourism #Ranch #AnimalInteraction #Drive #WeekendTrip

2026.6 ☑️ Paid parking, pet-friendly, restrooms available ☑️ It stays cool until early June, but with no shade, it generally gets pretty hot. ☑️ It's famous for its autumn pampas grass, but the lush greenery in summer is absolutely stunning. Soni Highlands is well-known for its autumn pampas grass, but visiting in summer lets you enjoy its vibrant green meadows. With fewer crowds in the summer, you can take a leisurely hike up, and at night, you can even see a sky full of stars. Since it's a highland trail, the climb takes less than an hour, making it popular for families with kids and pets. There are vending machines in the parking lot, but they're quite pricey, so it's best to grab drinks at a convenience store on the way or at the nearby Soni Highland Farm Garden. Don't forget a hat, sunscreen, and comfortable walking shoes—they're an absolute must!

I visited Soni Highlands😊 When autumn arrives, the sprawling fields of pampas grass glow in a brilliant golden hue, treating you to a breathtaking view that looks just like a giant natural carpet. The contrast of the grass swaying in the breeze against the clear blue sky was absolutely stunning, and simply taking a walk there was incredibly soothing✨ The walking trails are well-maintained, making it easy to explore, and the view from the observation deck is spectacular. At dusk, the setting sun casts a glow over the grass, creating a truly magical atmosphere📸 It's a highly recommended spot that you definitely need to visit if you love immersing yourself in nature or taking photos. 📍Access 🚗 Approx. 45 mins by car from Hari IC on the Meihan National Highway 🚌 Take a bus from Kintetsu Nabari Station and get off at "Soni Kogen" 📍Highlights ✔ Endless breathtaking fields of autumn pampas grass ✔ Magical sunset views ✔ Well-maintained, easy-to-walk trails ✔ Incredibly photogenic nature spot ✔ Great destination for a scenic drive

The Soji Plateau is located in Nara Prefecture. The best time to see the reeds is in late October (early autumn) and mid-November (late autumn). The sunsets are most beautiful because the reeds are bathed in sunlight, turning them golden.

Located in Soni Village, Uda District, Nara Prefecture, Soni Highland is a vast 40-hectare expanse stretching across the foot of Mount Kuroso. It's famous as one of Japan's premier spots for susuki (Japanese pampas grass). In autumn, the highland transforms into a breathtakingly spectacular sight, shimmering like a rolling ocean of silver and gold. Highlights and Latest Info for 2026: 🎑 The Legend of Okame Pond: At the center of the highland lies "Okame Pond," a wetland steeped in a mysterious legend about a woman named Okame who turned into a dragon and vanished. There's a well-kept walking trail around the pond, perfect for a leisurely stroll while taking in the local wetland flora. 🎑 Evening Illuminations: Every autumn (from mid-September to late November), the "Yama-akari" (Mountain Lights) event lines the walking paths. The glowing silhouettes of pampas grass standing against the twilight create a truly magical atmosphere. Hiking Trails: Whether you're looking for an easy, beginner-friendly stroll or a full-on hike up Mount Kuroso, there are routes tailored to every skill level. 🎑 Access and Local Info: It's about a 45-minute drive from the Hari IC on the Meihan National Highway. As of 2026, parking still gets extremely crowded during peak season, so arriving in the morning is highly recommended. The ultimate pro move is capping off your trip with a relaxing soak at the nearby "Okame-no-Yu" hot spring before heading home. Soni Highland changes its look with every passing season. Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city and walking through the refreshing breeze makes for the perfect weekend getaway to recharge both mind and body.

Soni Highland is a plateau situated at an elevation of approximately 700 meters in Soni Village, Uda District, Nara Prefecture.

If you are in Nagoya, you must visit Soni Highlands in autumn.

(Easiest route) ① Train + Bus (Recommended for those who don’t want to drive) · Kintetsu Nagoya Station → Kintetsu Nabari Station (about 1 hour) · From Nabari Station, take the Mie Kotsu bus → Soni Highlands (about 40–50 minutes) ※ Buses run once an hour, be sure to check the return time! ② Self-driving (Most comfortable) · Nagoya city → Soni Highlands, about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours · There is parking at the scenic spot (there may be queues during peak season, but the scenery is definitely worth it). ⸻ 📍 Must-visit photo spots · Okame Pond: The most classic check-in spot, lake surface + silver grass, breathtakingly beautiful. · Susuki Field Trail: The whole way is waves of wind-blown silver grass, perfect for portrait back shots. · Observation Deck Route: If you have the stamina, climb up to see the entire golden highland, it’s stunning. ⸻ 📸 Best time for photos (Super important) · 4:00 PM to 30 minutes before sunset! This is the “golden hour” when the silver grass is illuminated by the sunset. The side lighting makes hair edges glow golden, making every photo look magical. If you want to capture mist + a cooler atmosphere, go around 8–9 AM. ⸻ ✨ Photography tips · Stand with backlight, hair edges will glow · Bring silver grass close to the lens as foreground for a softer image · When it’s windy, every shot has a cinematic vibe · For “photo-worthy style,” avoid dark colors; white/cream sweaters are recommended ⸻ 🧡 Who should go Nature lovers, couples taking photos, family strolls, light-chasing photographers, and those wanting to relax.

In the heart of Nara, far from the bustling deer parks and temple crowds, lies a place where silence sings. As I wandered through the golden fields of Soni Highlands, time seemed to soften. The tall susuki grass swayed with grace, brushing the sky as if whispering secrets only nature understands. The stone path beneath my feet stretched endlessly, guiding me through gentle hills and quiet ponds that mirrored the mood of a brooding sky. It was humbling—like walking through a painting in motion, one painted not with colors, but with wind and memory. People dotted the landscape, sitting, strolling, soaking in the stillness. No Wi-Fi, no rush—just presence. Nara reminded me that sometimes, beauty doesn’t shout. It whispers. If your soul is tired, come here. Let the grasslands heal you.

#FritaviWinter #NaraTrip #NaraSightseeing A trip to Nara is not just about Nara Park! Sone Highlands is recommended for a drive 🛻! The nature is beautiful and you can really refresh your mind and body!! It might be even more beautiful in the fall! ? It's quite a walk to get to the top, so I recommend bringing water with you lol The view from the top is spectacular ✨️✨️ Please do!!! 📍Location: Tarajiro, Soni Village, Uda District, Nara Prefecture

🏖️Overview: Yoro-dake is a rocky mountain with an elevation of 894m that looks like a suit of armor. On the other hand, Kabuto-dake is a mountain with an elevation of 920m that looks like a mulberry-shaped helmet. Both mountains are named after ⚔️ weapons, and you can guess from their names that they are rough mountains, but their mountain forms also give off an intimidating feeling. 💞Reasons why we recommend it: While driving along the roads around Soni, I wondered what the mountains with that shape were ❗️, and Yoro-dake and Kabuto-dake were. So I decided to climb them. Suddenly, the autumn leaves 🍁 of Kabuto-dake were booming 💥. The only words I could say were "so beautiful" ‼️, and I just kept taking pictures 🤳 and my feet didn't move forward for a while. Although we had to use ropes on Kabuto-dake, it was a good athletic type 😃 and the view from the summit was 🙆♂️. You can also see the Soni Plateau. Next, we headed to Yoroi-dake. It was an easy trail from start to finish. 📍Location: Soni Village, Uda District, Nara Prefecture 📍Access: 🚃Get off at Kintetsu Nabari Station 🚌From the west exit of Kintetsu Nabari Station Get off at Kuzu bus stop on the Mie Kotsu bus Get off at Soni Yokowa stop on the Mie Kotsu bus #Domestic travel record #0 yen trip #Furitabi #Yori-dake #Kabuto-dake #Soni Village

Soni Plateau in Nara Prefecture ✨️ You can get there by car, motorbike, or bus! It was the most beautiful during this time of year, autumn and winter! On this day, we went to see the sunset ^^🙌There is a square in the middle, and there are many paths from there, so we had a lot of fun! There were many people there even after nightfall, so I think you can feel nature all day long 🍀*゜ It gets colder as you go up, so be sure to take precautions against the cold! Please go and make some autumn and winter memories! #FuritabiWinter #NaraPrefecture #WinterTrip #SoniPlateau

🏖️Overview: Soni Highland🟩 stretches along the ridgeline connecting Mt. Kuruso (elevation 1380m) and Mt. Kameyama (elevation 849m), which resembles a turtle's back, spanning across Tsu City in Mie Prefecture and Soni Village in Nara Prefecture. This grassland is covered entirely with silver grass🌾, and in autumn, the silver grass plumes shine golden✨ in the sunlight☀️, attracting many tourists every year. There is also a hiking trail🛣️ on Mt. Kuruso, where you can enjoy the view from an observation point👀 that offers a panoramic view of Soni Highland. 💞Recommended Reason: When you think of silver grass in the Kansai region, Soni Highland might come to mind. It is an incredibly beautiful highland, with green grass in summer🍉 and golden silver grass in autumn🍂. The first visit will likely leave you more impressed than expected. However, autumn can be very crowded, so make sure to plan your visit well. If you have time, hiking up the mountain is very refreshing. 📍Location: 🏣633-1202 Taroji, Soni Village, Uda District, Nara Prefecture 📍Access: 🚃Get off at Kintetsu Nabari Station 🚌Take the Mie Kotsu bus bound for Yamagaki Nishi, get off at Taroji, and walk about 50 minutes 🚌Take the Mie Kotsu bus bound for Soni Highland, get off at Soni Highland, and walk 20 minutes 🚙About 50 minutes from Hari IC on the Meihan National Route 🚙About 60 minutes from Ueno IC on the Meihan National Route

🏖️Overview: The Byobuiwa rock is a 200m high cliff that rises sharply like a saw blade over a width of 2km, like a folding screen. It is also likened to a strange peak and has been designated a national natural monument. 💞Reasons why we recommend it: You can view the Byobuiwa rock, which looks like a magnificent folding screen painting, from directly below, and it is probably more impressive than you can imagine. It is a rock wall that is well worth seeing. The view from the top of Byobuiwa is also wonderful, so please try climbing it. 📍Location: 🏣633-1214 Nagano, Soni Village, Uda District 📍Access: 35 minutes on foot from Nagano/Mie Kotsu bus stop Parking available/free.

Mount Kuraizuno, one of the 300 famous mountains in Japan ⛰️ The Soni Plateau spreads out on the western foot of the mountain, connecting this mountain to Mount Kameyama, which resembles the back of a turtle 🌿 In summer, it is covered with a carpet of green, in autumn with Japanese silver grass, and in spring, mountain burning is carried out 🌾 The Japanese silver grass begins to sprout in mid-September and turns golden in late November 𓂃𓈒𓏸 This time of year is very popular and the parking lot fills up quickly, so it is recommended to go early in the morning 🪽 I went on a Sunday morning around 8am, and there were few people, so I was able to take a leisurely stroll 😌 The morning mist was so fantastic that I felt like I was in a non-real world 𓅯 ⸒⸒ ┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ☑︎Taraji, Soni Village, Uda District ☑︎2 parking lots available ・Noguchi Parking Lot (150 cars)/800 yen all day (closest) ・Farm Garden Parking Lot (150 cars) 　Free (30-40 minutes walk to Soni Plateau) #SoniPlateau #NaraTourism #NaraTrip #DomesticTripTrip

This bowl-shaped plateau at the foot of Mt. Kameyama is one of the most famous spots in the Kansai region for Japanese silver grass. Many tourists visit in autumn when the ears of Japanese silver grass turn silvery. To easily enjoy the Soni Plateau, hike up the stepped trail to Kameyama Pass, then follow the ridge to the summit of Mt. Kameyama at an altitude of 849m and descend to the plateau. It takes about an hour to go around, but it is recommended that you wear comfortable shoes at least sneakers. The view from Kameyama Pass is wonderful. The gently sloping Soni Plateau spreads out below you with Okame Pond at the center, and behind it are mountains such as Byobuiwa, Sumizukayama, Kunimiyama, Kabutodake, and Yoroitake, which are lined up like a folding screen. If you have the time and energy, we recommend a round trip from Kameyama Pass via Nibonboso to Mt. Kuraizumi (altitude 1,037m). It takes just under two hours round trip, but you will be walking along a rocky ridge with many ups and downs, which will wear you out more than the distance. There is a local bus to get there, but you will have to walk quite a bit from the bus stop. If you come by car, there is a dedicated parking lot, but be careful as it will be full during the autumn silver grass season. #NaraTourism #NaraTrip #Osaka #DomesticTrip

It was a very vast place and I was able to feel nature on my skin. The parking lot was relatively large, so even beginners could park with peace of mind. I gave up on the climb halfway through, but when I saw the view from the top in videos, it was so magnificent that I regretted not climbing. Next time I visit, I will try wearing sneakers or other comfortable clothes. There are no toilets in sight, so I recommend the roadside station on the way to the plateau, which is clean and sells a variety of items.

I went to Soni Plateau in Soni Village, Nara Prefecture! It's a very popular spot for viewing Japanese silver grass in autumn! Japanese silver grass spreads all over the place, and the golden scenery illuminated by the setting sun is a spectacular sight. The plateau is quite large!! It's convenient to access by car, but there's a long line to get into the parking lot just before dusk, so I recommend going during the day before dusk and parking your car there. By the way, you can also get there by bus from Kintetsu Nabari Station. Be sure to go and see the spectacular autumn scenery✨ #0yentripautumn #Soniplateau #autumntrip #Japanesesilkgrassgrassgrassgrassgrassgrass #Naratourism
