Tourists stroll through a sea of silver Japanese pampas grass as autumn descends on the Sengokuhara highlands in Hakone, a popular tourist spot in western Kanagawa Prefecture that includes Lake Ashinoko. The local tourist association says the tall, feathery heads of eulalia grass, which sway in the autumn breezes, are expected to last through the end of October across vast expanses of the highlands, which stand around 700 meters above sea level.
