Japanese silver grass (“susuki” in Japanese) is a plant of poaceae and its scientific name is Miscanthus sinensis. They say the grass shines gold or silver when the sun rises. Today it was rather cloudy; I was a little disappointed.

Japanese Silver Grass
There is a field of Japanese silver grass in Sengokubara, Hakone. I visited there today. Hakone is located in the west end of Kanagawa prefecture and famous for hot spring resort. It took 30 minutes by bus from Hakoneyumoto station of Odakyu line. A few minutes walk take you to the field.

Summary in Japanese (日本語要約)
【ススキ】
箱根の仙石原にススキの原がある。今日は、そこに行った。箱根は、神奈川県の西の端にあり温泉保養地として有名である。小田急線箱根湯本駅からバスで30分。２，３分歩くと草原に着く。
すすきは、イネ科で、学名をMiscanthus sinensisという。太陽が昇るときに、金色や銀色に輝くらしい。今日は、かなり曇っていたので、ちょっとがっかりした。
