Kusasenri-ga-hama (草千里ヶ浜) 草千里ヶ浜
Double crater from 30,000 years ago: 785,000 m² of grassland, two lakes and the Komatateyama hill.
Kusasenri lies within Aso-Kuju National Park (established in 1934) and within the Aso UNESCO Global Geopark (recognised in September 2014), which lists it as one of its official geosites together with the nearby Nakadake crater. The 阿蘇火山博物館, on the edge of the grassland, houses the Mount Aso Visitor Centre on the ground floor, opened by the Ministry of the Environment in March 2019 with free admission, and paid galleries on the volcano's geology on the upper floors.
