Aso area

Kusasenri

Kusasenri is a vast grassy plain which offers great views of the volcanically active Nakadake Peak. Kusasenri also features a large pond and horses can be seen grazing on the land. This scenic location has become a popular feature of the Aso Geopark.

Kusasenri offers a different landscape depending on the season. In summer the grasses are vibrant and green, while in winter everything becomes silver. This changing scenery makes Kusasenri a place that is worth visiting many times throughout the year.

If you are looking for more excitement than just enjoying the scenery, there are also a number of activities which can be undertaken at Kusasenri such as horse riding and hiking.

Many poets have written songs about Kusasenri's beauty over the years.
