Kusasenri

Kusasenri Review

Kusasenri, a 35-minute ride from the JR Aso Station on the Kyushu Sanko bus line, is a bowl-shaped meadow where cows and horses graze on the lush grass and wade in shallow marshes. If you have time, hike along an easy trail that goes 5½ km (3½ mi) around the base of Kijima-dake. It takes an hour or so, and provides excellent views of the otherworldly terrain. You could also march the 3 km (2 mi) straight across the rugged lava plain to the foot of Naka-dake. For several trails of other lengths and difficulty in the area, pick up the "Aso Trekking Route Map" at the information center in JR Aso Station.
