Hi, I’m Tabi!
Kirishima is a broad city in Kagoshima. Choose the shrine approach or Maruo Falls. Check bus and road access from JR Kirishima-Jingu Station or the airport. This guide does not turn a shrine visit into a summit hike.
This guide covers places within Kirishima, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

A first-visit stop
Kirishima Jingu Shrine
霧島神宮
Discover the shrine’s wooded approach. The photo shows an entrance-side torii and path in 2020, rather than the main sanctuary interior. Check stairs, worship, photography rules and access to individual areas.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
View a waterfall beside a road in the hot-spring area. The photo dates to 2009. This is not a bathing stop: check permitted viewing areas, roads and water-level restrictions.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
Official tourism material features Kirishima tea. Check tea and tea-sweet origins, ingredients and availability. Local tea in every product, health benefits, particular shops and current prices are not guaranteed.
