Sengokuhara Pampas Grass Fields
仙石原すすき草原
Rolling golden pampas grass fields on the slopes of Mt. Daigatake. The grass sways in the wind under backlight, making it one of Hakone's famous autumn sights.
The Sengokuhara Pampas Grass Fields lie on the eastern foot of Mt. Daigatake. The slopes are burned each spring to renew the grassland, and by autumn the grass grows taller than a person. In the evening, backlit by the sun, the field turns into golden waves. A trail winds through the grass and takes about 30 minutes round trip. Viewing is free. Take a bus bound for Togendai and get off at the Sengokukōgen stop. During pampas season, weekend roads are congested and parking is limited, so the bus is recommended. The Pola Museum and Hakone Glass Forest are nearby and can be visited on the same trip.
