  Kusasenri in Aso, Kumamoto, is definitely an attraction you shouldn't miss! As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by a vast, seemingly endless grassland. Everywhere I looked was covered in lush green grass, with rolling mountains in the distance, creating a truly spectacular view. The scenery here is incredibly expansive and completely different from an ordinary city park. Just standing beside the grassland, you can feel the impact of nature, and your mood naturally becomes more relaxed.

  During my visit, what impressed me most was this endless green grassland. There aren't many buildings blocking the view, so you can fully appreciate Aso's unique natural landscape. When the wind blows across the grass, the entire grassland looks especially pleasant. As your gaze extends toward the distant mountains, it feels as if you are becoming part of nature. Many visitors also stop here to take photos. Some walk along the grassland, while others simply stand nearby and enjoy the scenery. The overall atmosphere is leisurely and relaxing.

  In addition to its expansive grassland scenery, Kusasenri also lets you experience the unique appeal of Aso's volcanic terrain. Compared with the temples, shrines, and busy shopping streets commonly seen in Japan, this place offers a greater sense of openness and tranquility. You only understand why it has become one of Aso's most iconic tourist attractions after visiting in person.

  What I liked most on this visit was the lush green grass stretching out in front of me. Simply standing there, enjoying the scenery, and taking photos made the trip feel worthwhile. If you like nature and wide-open views, I really recommend making time to visit and experience the beauty of Aso's grasslands!

  Driving is the most convenient option. Navigate directly to “Kusasenri Observatory.” There’s paid parking, but it isn’t cheap. You can see Mount Aso in the distance, and the grasslands are beautiful. You can also pay to go horseback riding. The scenery along the drive up the mountain is beautiful. Highly recommended for travelers with a car!

  The greatest pleasure of driving around Aso is having the freedom to take in the magnificence of Kusasenri at your own pace. On the mountain road from Komezuka to Kusasenri, be sure not to miss the elevated observation deck along the way. After parking, look down from above to see an entire field of autumn silver grass swaying in the wind, with the smoking crater of Mount Nakadake in the distance. The layered scenery is truly majestic.

  After following the mountain road to Kusasenri, I recommend heading straight to the scenic restaurant on the second floor for the local specialty, Aso beef teppanyaki. The tender beef sizzling on the hot plate and its mouthwatering aroma made it the most warm and comforting treat in the autumn breeze.

  After your meal, head down to the first floor. Not only are there many high-quality Aso souvenirs and specialty goods to browse, but it is also home to the popular Kusasenri Coffee Roastery. As a coffee lover, of course I couldn't pass it up. I ordered a rich hot latte along with a classic Aso pudding, made with pure Aso milk and featuring a dense, silky-smooth texture. I found a seat by the window and alternated between bites of pudding and sips of coffee while quietly gazing out over the endless autumn wilderness. This encounter with Aso's autumn silver grass in the Land of Fire left me completely satisfied in both body and mind.

  Kusasenri in Aso is one of my favorite attractions. Besides the beautiful scenery, it's also not difficult to get to. Even without a car, you can take public transportation, which is very convenient for travelers.

  As soon as you arrive at Kusasenri, you see a vast, lush green grassland, with the magnificent Mount Aso in the distance. It feels like you're being embraced by the mountains, grassland, sky, and breeze. After seeing the volcano, I chose a restaurant where I could enjoy the view. Sitting by the window, I enjoyed my meal while looking at the scenery outside. The window frame was like a natural picture frame, turning the entire view into a painting. The volcano in the distance quietly kept us company, and whenever I saw smoke rising from the crater, I couldn't bring myself to look away.

  There are also horses freely grazing and strolling across the grassland, and horseback riding is available if you'd like to try it.

  On a trip to Aso, even the worries that are usually so hard to let go of seem to rise with the smoke from Mount Aso's crater and drift little by little into the distance on the wind.

  Leaving Kumamoto and heading toward Aso, as the car slowly left the city, the view gradually opened up. The winding mountain road climbed upward, with rolling hills and endless emerald-green grasslands as far as the eye could see.
  After arriving at Kusasenri, I couldn't wait to run onto the grassland as soon as the car was parked. The sky seemed so distant and high, and the grassland stretched endlessly. Visitors looked like tiny dots scattered everywhere, or strings of little dumplings, and I was one of them. The vast sky, the boundless wilderness, and cattle and horses appearing as the wind bent the grass—Kusasenri truly lives up to its name as a magnificent grassland. Walking across the grassland, the breeze was cool against my face. From a high vantage point, I could gaze at Mount Aso on one side and the vast grassland on the other. I couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. Deep and light greens—dark green, yellow-green, emerald green, blue-green—all kinds of green shifted in the sunlight. So beautiful!
  Back at the parking lot, there's no need to rush off. You can have a cup of coffee at Kusasenri Coffee Roastery and settle your thoughts, or browse the shop next door and stock up for your journey.
