Kirishima is located almost in the center of the mainland of Kagoshima Prefecture and is known as a place of magnificent nature and mythology. Embraced by the Kirishima mountain range, this place is part of the "Kirishima Kinkowan National Park", which was designated as a national park for the first time in Japan, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons.
There are many places where history and faith are deeply rooted, such as Takachiho Peak, where the legend of the Advent of the Heavenly Son remains, and Kirishima Shrine, which has a majestic appearance, and quietly heal the hearts of visitors. Another attraction is the hot spring resort with hot springs and the food culture that makes use of the local blessings.
The blessings of nature are not only reflected in tourism, but also in local life and culture. By experiencing industries and traditions rooted in the region, such as agricultural products, shochu, and crafts, you will be able to experience the deep charm of Kirishima even more.
Every time I visit, I make new discoveries and encounters. Surrounded by nature, history, hot springs, and the warmth of the people, Kirishima will spend a fulfilling moment.
