OFFICIAL KUMAMOTO TOURISM GUIDE

Sightseeing

Aso area

Sunasenrigahama

Sunasenrigahama is the old crater located in the southeast of Mt.Aso Nakadake Crater.

The rough rock surface and black sand land covered with volcanic ash are spread around with few plants. Many volcanic bombs that were thrown from the crater by explosive eruption are scattered on the mountain surface. The dynamic scenery makes you feel as if you were on another planet.
