Soni Village is a mountain village in eastern Uda District and a member of "The Most Beautiful Villages in Japan." Highlights are the Soni Highlands, covered in silver grass in autumn, and rock walls such as Byobu-iwa, Mt. Yoroi and Mt. Kabuto. In ancient times the Nuribe, a group that produced lacquer, was placed here, and efforts are under way to revive lacquer production.
