Susuki silver grass in the Sengokuhara district in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, has just reached the peak of its autumnal sparkle. Fields of the grass glistened in the sunlight on a slope of Mt. Daigatake, entertaining visitors who were wearing masks to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.

"I haven't been here before, I was impressed by the silver color of the grass," said a 24-year-old male college student from Tokyo, who visited the district on Saturday with a friend using the government-subsidized Go To Travel tourism promotion campaign.
