If you’re up for more adventure, the Kusasenri grasslands are awesome for a calming stroll. 🌄 Must-Dos: Walk to the main crater rim (check safety restrictions—sometimes closed for volcanic activity). Snap photos at the observation deck, then picnic with a view at Kusasenri! Riding horses here is fun for kids and surprisingly relaxing for adults. 📸 Insta-Worthy Spots: Main Crater Rim: Stunning steam clouds and crater views—hold your camera steady for wide angles! Kusasenri Fields: Rolling green with the mountain as backdrop—family photos turn out epic here. 💡 Visiting Tips: Check conditions before going—weather and volcanic gases affect access.
