On the long drives between Fukuoka, Aso and Takachiho, Kusasenri is the scenic break, half an hour to walk the edge or ride a horse round the pond. Some routes add a wagyu lunch, and Miyazaki’s Takachiho beef is good enough to justify it.
See Aso’s volcanic country, Kusasenri grassland and Takachiho Gorge on a long day trip from Fukuoka, with an optional rowboat ride.
