What other travelers are saying about Sengokuhara Pampas Grass Fields
Visited close to autumn this year, and it was absolutely stunning. The golden pampas grass swaying in the cold, windy breeze, especially near sunset, created a breathtaking and picturesque view. The warm glow of the setting sun made the scene even more magical. It's free to visit and easy to access, making it a must-see spot. Despite the chill, the scenery was completely worth it – a serene escape into nature! Highly recommend for anyone traveling to Hakone in autumn.
There's just one long path winding through the field, making it an easy, immersive experience.
The area can get quite crowded, so arriving early is recommended for a more peaceful experience.
Overall, it is a wonderful spot for anyone who loves nature or photography!
Free, easy to locate (right across Lawson), and you might run into cute dog.
Wear long pants and clothes; do NOT wear sandal/flippers/heels (it’s a layer of small pointy rock). You don’t really have to go all the way up; the grass is too tall to get a better view (unless you have a selfie stick)
Strongly recommend to come during sunset. There’s nice hues and many good spots to take a photo! Beware of the crowd.
I went around 4.05pm (40mins before sunset) and it was perfect timing for us to take good photos.
