Soni Village, located in the highlands of northeastern Nara, is a village of overwhelming scenery, counted among "The Most Beautiful Villages in Japan." The main highlight is the "Soni Highlands," where in autumn, the pampas grass as far as the eye can see shines like a golden carpet, attracting many travelers seeking mystical sunsets. Surrounding it are powerful rock walls like "Byobu-iwa" and "Yoroitake," offering dynamic beauty created by volcanic eruptions. With hot spring facilities available, you can heal your fatigue after hiking. It is a hidden gem of Shiga (Nara) where beautiful satoyama landscapes and grand nature coexist.
