[Nara] A photogenic spot for silver grass

Things to note about Soni Plateau, a famous spot for Japanese pampas grass ⚠️ The first time we visited, we couldn't reach the parking lot and had to retreat as the sun was setting ⤵︎ ︎ Even today, a Monday in November, we enjoyed ourselves until sunset and were about to head home, but there were still cars lined up, which was unfortunate... There are two parking lots at Soni Plateau: at the foot of the mountain (Farm Garden) and at the top of the mountain (Noguchi Parking Lot). It's probably about a 30-minute walk from the foot of the mountain. However, the Noguchi Parking Lot (800 yen), which is right next to the Japanese pampas grass, is quite strict in terms of structure and number of cars, and tends to be congested. Even at 3:00 p.m. on a weekday Monday, we still had to line up a little. If you're going out on the weekend, you should be prepared to bring lunch with you. Once you start lining up, there are very few places to make a U-turn to get to the parking lot, so there's nothing you can do... It was already congested around the Farm Garden. If it starts to get congested, it might be better to park and walk. (For some reason, the entrance to the upper parking lot is on the right and the exit is on the left, so the traffic lines cross, you pay at the entrance, and people from the parking lot cross, so it's not easy to move around 🥲 Parking fees do not accept large bills or cards) The power of the sun is amazing. ᐟ.ᐟ It gets even colder the moment the sun sets, so you can really feel it. The wind is cold even before then, but the temperature change is incomparable. Please make sure to dress warmly when you go out. Once you climb up to Soni Plateau, there is a toilet in the parking lot, but the only other thing there is a vending machine and a stall selling freshly baked kusamochi and konjac. There is nothing but nature, and the field of pampas grass is worth seeing! Please make sure you have plenty of time to spare when you go out. 📌Soni Plateau 〒633-1202 Tarajiro, Soni Village, Uda District Information as of November 2023 Please check the latest information before going out. ꒰ঌ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈໒꒱ Always like!
