Tonomine Highlands

The Tonomine Highlands extend across 90 hectares of rolling hills covered with Japanese pampas grass, creating expansive natural patterns in western Japan.

The plateau has served as a natural reserve where local communities have maintained traditional grass management practices through controlled burns each spring.

The highland area hosts moon-viewing gatherings in September and a Japanese pampas grass festival in October, connecting visitors with seasonal celebrations.

The visitor center operates Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering restaurant services and remaining closed from January to March.

The silver strands of pampas grass reflect sunlight during autumn, while spring burning practices transform the landscape into temporary fields of fire.
