Introduction
Sengokuhara is an open lava plateau in the Hakone highlands, famous for its silver pampas grass (susuki) in autumn and winter. Vast white plumes ripple in the wind against the outer Hakone mountains — a classic view; in summer the fields turn green, dotted with museums, golf and onsen, making it Hakone's most pleasant area to roam by car.
