A Private Guided Daytrip to Soni Highland, One of the most beautiful unexplored areas in Japan

Soni village is located at the northeastern end of Nara Prefecture and is famous for extraordinary scenery of the unusually shaped columnar joint rocks, which is designated as a national natural treasure.

The area across Soni Highland is designated as a Muro Akame Aoyama quasi-national park.
Soni Highland is a grassland covered with Japanese pampas grass. From spring to summer, the area becomes like a large fresh-green carpet. In autumn, silvery and golden Japanese pampas grass glows reflecting sunlight.

Why don’t you take a road trip to the highland village in Nara with our local English speaking guide?
