Taste the autumn in Hakone with golden silver grass swaying in Sengokuhara
Sengokuhara is one of the places in Hakone where tranquility and magnificent nature are in harmony. In particular, the silver grass meadows in the fall are like golden waves swaying in the wind, inviting visitors to relax and take their time. Another attraction of this area is that visitors can enjoy completely different expressions depending on the time of day, such as the soft glow of morning light or the moment of reddening at dusk. On a clear day, the sparkling ears of silver grass caught in the light along with the distant mountain range will remind you of the beauty of nature that is typical of Hakone.
Key points for photography
The key to taking photographs is to take advantage of changes in time of day and weather conditions. In the morning, the ears of silver grass glow softly in the low light, and if you aim for backlighting, the outlines of the individual stalks will emerge. In the evening, the sky should be more colorful, and the golden to reddish hues of the meadow will be more impressive. On a foggy day, focusing on the overlapping and swaying of the silver grass without forcing the distant scenery will enhance the fantastic atmosphere. By carefully balancing the light and the meadow while feeling the movement of the wind, you can express the magnificent and tranquil scenery unique to Sengokuhara.
