The roads to the crater are destroyed because of the earthquake.
It is not possible to go to Kusasenri for example, even if it is more than one kilometer away form the crater itself.

Sorry I didn't see your message sooner. The only thing I found in English: http://kumanago.jp/whatsnew/?mode=detail&id=425.
I know it's from last month but that's all I found in English
I'm trying to make a website for work (I work in Aso at an information center) http://aso-japan.jimdo.com/

If you need link in Japanese you can find it more easily I guess.

It notes some roads are closed. You'd have to assume that the other roads are open then.

There is also recent info from July 31 on the Aso volcano museum website (in JP http://www.asomuse.jp/2016/07/31/【お知らせ】阿蘇山上の道路状況について/ ), which states that all roads leading to the top of Mt.Aso are closed,and access to the volcano crater and Kusasenri is not possible now. The Volcano museum remains currently closed as well.
