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.
