  • Tour Details
1. The Kirishima area is home to the Kirishima Mountains, one of Japan's first national parks. Look forward to experiencing the area's rich nature and culture on this 1-day tour.

2. Kirishima has a history of facing threats from nature such as volcanic eruptions, and as a result, there are many shrines surrounding Mount Kirishima where people pray for fire suppression and national peace. On this tour, customers will visit one of these shrines, the National Treasure Kirishima Shrine, with its beautiful vermilion-painted shrine building standing in the forest, together with an English-speaking guide.

3. Kirishima is a major hot spring resort with numerous hot springs. Visit Hachiman Daijigoku, a spot where visitors can experience this highlight of Kirishima, and take in up-close views of steam rising from some of the largest fumaroles in Kyushu. Also visit Maruo Falls, which is famous as the "Yunotaki" waterfall where hot spring water flows.

4. This is a private tour where a charter vehicle is provided for each group of customers along with a guide.
