Soni Highland

🏖️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
