SUMMARY
Kusasenri is a wide grassland at the foot of Mount Aso, known for its open volcanic scenery, grazing horses, seasonal ponds, and views toward the active Nakadake crater area.
DESCRIPTION
Kusasenri is one of the signature landscapes of the Mount Aso area in Kumamoto Prefecture.
The grassland sits near the active volcanic zone and offers a beautiful contrast between soft green fields, dark volcanic slopes, and the broad sky above the Aso Caldera.
Visitors can walk around the open grassland, enjoy views of horses grazing in the pasture, and photograph the seasonal ponds that appear in the basin after rain.
The nearby Aso Volcano Museum introduces the geology and history of Mount Aso, making Kusasenri a good stop for travelers who want both scenery and context.
The scenery changes throughout the year, from fresh green grass in spring and summer to golden tones in autumn and a quiet, crisp atmosphere in winter.
Kusasenri is often visited together with Mount Aso Nakadake Crater, Daikanbo, and other highlights of the Aso region.
