Kirishima-yaku National Park Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The main train junctions are JR Kobayashi station, which is northeast of Ebino Plateau, and Kirishima-jingū station to the south.

However, a direct bus to Ebino-kōgen is by far the best way to go. From Kagoshima, Hayashida buses (four daily) make the 27km run to Ebino-kōgen starting at 10am (¥1570, 1¾ hours).

The approach from Miyazaki is more difficult – take the bus to Kobayashi (¥2000, 80 minutes). From there, you’ll need to take a taxi (¥5000, 35 minutes), or hitch.

Schedules often change for travel to Ebino-kōgen; check before starting out.
