Kusansenri

On my trip to Mt.Aso, After i visited Nakadake i'll take the bus down to Aso Station. If i stopped at Kusansenri, I'll have to wait for the next bus 1.5 hour later.

What's in Kusansenri?
Is Kusansenri worth the stop?

It is a grass plain. During some seasons there are small ponds in the plain. Outside of winter it is possible to do short horseback rides. Across the street there is a volcano museum (not much English) and some shops. Here are some basics:

Google can provide you with lots more information and images about Kusasenri.

Kusasenri is also the starting point for some hikes. You can walk up Mt. Eboshi, directly above the flat area, and Mt. Kishima, behind all the shops and restaurants. However, the last time I was there the trail up Kishima was closed for some reason. The Japanese like to stop in this area to view cows grazing and you can watch them take pictures of cattle. From the overlook along the road just above the parking lot you can look down on Komezuka-dake and the northern part of the caldera. The trail up Komezuka-dake is now also closed.

Assuming it is a reasonably clear day, can you get a decent look at Komezuka from the bus (that is, while riding the Kyusanko bus that runs from Aso Station to Aso-san Nishi Station)?
