As autumn calls, Takasubaru-kogen Highland, located about halfway up Mt. Hiko (Soeda-machi, Tagawa-gun, Fukuoka Pref.) with an altitude about 1,200m, gives a stunning view as the susuki / Japanese silver grass shine under the sun. These Japanese silver grass grows on the slope of about 800m above sea level and about 6ha in size, which was once used as a skiing ground. As the wind blows, it makes ripples in the grass as if the waves rushing into the ocean, creating a fantastic scenic view. Moreover, it can only be seen now since it will be mowed in late November, so don't miss the chance to surround yourself with lovely Japanese silver grass and the autumn breeze!

(The highland is accessible from Fukuoka Prefectural Hikosan Seinen no Ie's premises. Please contact the office in advance before the visit.)
