Sengokuhara Grasslands

The vast fields of Sengokuhara are covered with tall susuki grass (silvergrass; Miscanthus sinensis). Deep green in summer, the grass sends up glistening seed mauve heads from September that turn into silvery tufts by mid-autumn. A path through the fields climbs a hill and the farther you go, the better the views of nearby mountains and surrounding wetlands. A former lake bed, the grassland is regularly maintained by controlled burning to keep trees and other invasive plants from taking over and suppressing the growth of the grass. This maintenance used to have a very practical purpose beginning in the Edo period (1603–1867), when the miscanthus grass was used for thatching the roofs of houses. The fields languished for several decades when modernization of building materials removed demand for the grass. Preservation activities were restarted on a trial basis in 1989. Since 2000, the susuki has been cut and the fields burned off every year, ensuring that visitors can enjoy the distinctive beauty of this plant which has long played an important role in Japanese life and culture.

仙石原芒草草原

高高的芒草，覆蓋在仙石原的廣袤平原上。夏日裡蒼翠欲滴的芒草，進入9月，其淡紫色的種子上便伸展出絨毛，泛起白色的光澤，隨著秋意漸濃，漫山遍野的銀色閃亮奪目。穿過平原的蜿蜒小徑，登上一座小丘，越往前走，附近峰巒和周邊濕地的景色越發清晰醉人，宛如一幅畫卷在眼前徐徐展開。這片草原曾是湖床，需通過定期燒荒來維護，以避免外來入侵植物反客為主，限制草木生長。在以芒草修葺屋頂的江戶時代（1603-1867）初期，這項維護方式效果絕佳，堪稱立竿見影。因為建築材料的近代化，導致當地居民對芒草的需求日益減少，並於數十年間，草原逐漸貧瘠。1989年，試驗性的保護活動重新展開。從2000年以來，芒草收割和燒荒維護的定期實施，使得造訪此地的遊客可以親身體驗芒草的獨特之美。自古至今，這種植物與日本文化息息相關，並深深根植於日本人的生活中。

仙石原芒草草原

仙石原的广袤平原上，覆盖着一层高高的芒草。夏日里翠色欲滴的芒草，一到9月，其淡紫色的种子上便伸展出绒毛，泛起白色的光泽，随着秋意渐深，漫山遍野的银色熠熠生辉。穿过平原的蜿蜒小径，攀上一座小山，越往前走，附近山峦和周边湿地的景致越发清晰迷人，宛如一幅画卷在眼前徐徐展开。曾是湖床的这片草原，需通过定期烧荒来维护，以防止外来入侵植物喧宾夺主，抑制草木生长。在以芒草修葺屋顶的江户时代（1603-1867）初期，这一维护方式行之有效，效果堪称立竿见影。由于建筑材料的近代化，导致当地居民对芒草的需求日益下降，草原在数十年间逐渐贫瘠。1989年，试验性的保护活动被重新启动。自2000年以来，芒草收割和烧荒维护的定期实行，使得造访此地的游客可以亲身体验芒草的独特之美。古往今来，这种植物与日本文化息息相关，并深深根植于日本人的生活中。
