COMMENT:

Best known as the home of West Japan’s largest susuki grass prairie, thanks the high altitude, the Tonomine Kogen Highlands offer a prime setting for astronomical observations with a vast star-filled sky. Visitors in summer will be treated to a picturesque sight of the Milky Way over a fresh green carpet of susuki grass from early to midsummer, while in autumn the field turns into a soft golden color.
Such spectacular scenery has made Tonomine Kogen Highlands a popular filming location for various films and television shows, including the films “Norwegian Wood” and “Nobunaga Concerto” as well as the Taiga drama “Gunshi Kanbei.”
