Tohmine Highland

Flow of the course

About this spot

A scenic spot representative of Kamikawa Town where miscanthus grass spreads across a highland at approximately 800 meters elevation. While known as a golden miscanthus grassland in autumn, summer features lush green meadows with pleasant cool breezes, making it a popular leisurely hiking course. Walking trails and boardwalks are well-maintained, allowing families to stroll leisurely while enjoying a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. As evening approaches, the air becomes clearer and the silhouettes of distant mountains gradually change color, offering beautiful sightseeing. It's a perfect place to spread a picnic or light snacks to refuel before the fireworks at the summer festival.

Tips

Approximately 15 minutes by car from the Lotus Garden. The highland has little shelter from sunlight, so a hat or parasol is recommended. Insects increase toward evening, so insect repellent spray is useful.

Best time to visit

Approximately 2 hours. The air becomes clearer toward evening, creating a cool and comfortable time to spend.
