📍Kusasenri Coffee Roastery Address: 2391-15 Nagakusa, Aso City, Kumamoto 💰Around 500–750 yen "Kusasenri Coffee Roastery" is a must-visit spot when you're at Kusasenrigahama. Boasting an incredible location right in front of Kusasenri, you can savor authentic coffee while soaking in the majestic views of Aso. The space is sleek and sophisticated, with a stylish black-and-white aesthetic, and it was buzzing with people (yes, there was a line!😳). Produced by the popular Kumamoto shop "Coffee Gallery," it offers a high-quality, trendy menu despite being tucked away from the city center✨. While it’s perfect for a break during your walk, I highly recommend grabbing a coffee before heading down to the meadows. You can take your time enjoying the Aso landscape with a cup in hand! There's also a souvenir shop next door, so definitely check it out🧚

Visiting Mount Aso in Kumamoto, Japan, is an experience that makes you realise just how powerful and beautiful nature can be. This is not an ordinary mountain – it is one of the world’s largest volcanic calderas, with dramatic landscapes, vast green fields, volcanic smoke, and breathtaking panoramic views.

What impressed me most was the incredible contrast between the peaceful countryside and the raw volcanic landscape. Everywhere you look, there is something spectacular: endless grasslands, rolling hills, distant mountains, and the feeling of being surrounded by nature on a completely different scale.

One of the highlights of the area is Kusasenri Grassland. Walking across this beautiful open landscape, with horses grazing in the distance and mountains surrounding the horizon, feels almost unreal. It is a perfect place to take photographs, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and simply appreciate the scenery.

Another fascinating stop is the Aso Volcano Museum, where you can learn about the geological history of the volcano and understand the incredible forces that shaped this region.

My personal travel tips:

· Rent a car if possible. Having your own transportation makes exploring the Aso region much easier.
· Visit Kusasenri and allow yourself enough time to enjoy the scenery rather than rushing through.
· Wear comfortable walking shoes, as some areas have uneven volcanic terrain.
· Bring a jacket, even on sunny days. The weather can be quite different at higher elevations.
· Check the volcanic alert level and crater access information before your visit. Mount Aso is an active volcano, and access restrictions can change.
· Never cross safety barriers or enter restricted areas.
· Keep a safe distance from grazing horses and respect the surrounding nature.
· Bring some snacks and water, especially if you plan to explore the walking trails.

Important note for travellers: The Nakadake crater access has been subject to restrictions due to volcanic activity. As of the latest information available for November 2026, Kusasenri remains accessible, while the crater area is restricted. Always check the official updates before travelling.
