[2025 year edition] recommendation spot of colored leaves in a Kirishima area

The Kirishima area spread in the Kagoshima north is also famous as the place Sakamoto Ryoma and Mr. and Mrs. amount visited by a honeymoon. The mountain where the volcanic activity is continued, the crater lake established with that and high plain are circled by the grand mountains and also feel untouched nature is wide now. I'll introduce 5 spots of colored leaves from which such naturalness can't be removed in the abundant Kirishima area by this article.

The harmony of the vermilion-lacquered shrine building and the deep red colored leaves is charming sights in autumn of Kirishima.

The biggest shrine in the Southern Kyushu which is learned about by the thing Sakamoto Ryoma visited by a honeymoon, too. NINIGINOMIKOTO where I'm a main character of a myth of god's descendants to earth is deified, and gorgeous decoration is even done inside the main shrine. A main shrine, an offering place and a hall of worship were designated by a national asset in 2022.
When autumn comes, the fantastic landscape of colored leaves continues from an approach to Shrine to a precinct. Something the harmony of the vermilion-lacquered shrine building and the deep red colored leaves can't judge by other ones easily in particular. A maple along the Sando spread in the inside of colored leaves along a national highway just before Otorii and Torii of two can't also be overlooked.
There are a gift shop where local specialty is handled, Dining Area and sightseeing Property with a footbath "Kirishimahot spring market" in the location of about 15 minutes by car, so it's recommended to a dropping spot before and after worship. There is also a tunnel of a maple on number 223 of national highway to the market, and it'll be to be dazzled.

Contrast of the mysterious lake and colored leaves which are loved while going hiking

The lake in the northeast in Kirishima city and the peak in Mt. Kirishima. You know that it's done about 4-before 50,000 by a volcanic activity of Mt. Kirishima as a historical origin and the mysterious crater lake where "wave legend" is left. There are a lot of crater lakes in Mt. Kirishima, but it's Oonamiike that there is an inside in a height most.
From the Oonamiike starting point for a climb where number 1 of Kagoshima way (Kobayashi Ebino Plateau Makizono line) is the way to the lake, one way about 40 minutes. It's popular as the mountain I tend to climb relatively in the Kirishima mountain range. The esplanade you can tour in about 2 hours is also maintained around the lake. A maple and a Japanese red pine color at the beginning of November from the end of October every year, and it's possible to love the excellent color beauty. I'll enjoy a beautiful contrast of the lake where I shine in cobalt blue and colored leaves while taking a walk on the day which cleared up.

The superb view load I'd like to pass at time of colored leaves

The way which is selected on 100 "elections of Japanese way" where number 223 of national highway to a Kagoshima Kirishima city and the road where Japan is distinctive were chosen from Kobayashi-shi, Miyazaki. Number 480 of the approach to Shrine through a cathedral town in a Kirishima shrine and prefectural highway I keep passing through the "Takachiho dry riverbed" which intersects and is Takachihonomine in a Kirishima mountain range (It's only KACHIHO.) and a mountaineering entrance to Nakadake where intersect, and I have the important role as a stoop of Kirishima sightseeing.
The roadside trees turn red in red and yellow in ordinary year autumn, and it's possible to enjoy vivid inside of a gradation and drive. There is an impression in the "tunnel of" colored leaves where even the inside is near the Kirishima shrine.

It's satisfied with beauty of the colored leaves which suit the surface of the lake and are crowded.

The high plain which is spread in the foot of mountain of "Mount Karakunidake (or, only easily)" which is the highest peak in a Kirishima mountain range which ranges from Miyazaki-ken to Kagoshima-ken. The grassland of Japanese pampas grass where even the severe environment can grow also spreads from influence of a volcanic activity in Mt. Io which keeps erupting at present in altitude 1,200m. It's said that that the tip of the Japanese pampas grass was dyed in the shrimp color by influence of a volcanic gas is the history of the place-name as "Ebino Plateau".
The trekking tour which goes around 3 crater lakes (white purple pond, six Kannon Oike and immovable pond) in about 2 hours "the tour of ponds, course" is maintained using the "Ebino ecology museum center" introduced about nature, history and mountaineering information of Mt. Kirishima as a foothold. Beauty of the colored leaves which suit the surface of the lake in autumn and are crowded is the special privilege only the person who visited can taste. The "Ebino observatory" where I arrive at the person who doesn't have a confidence in about 5 minutes from a museum center is recommended to physical strength. The mountains around Ebino Plateau can be looked around centering on Mount Karakunidake.

Beauty by which the form that I shine holds its breath in gold. 2 pairs of gingko of an age of the tree for more than 1000 years

The gingko of 2 which stand in a row in a precinct of "Miya Uramiya (MIYAURAGUU)" in Kirishima city Fukuyama-cho learned about as a village of brown vinegar. Miya Uramiya is the shrine where the history also named on an authorities company list of the made whole country "Engishiki name of a god book" in 927 is here. You're telling a gingko tree commemorated that I was temporary Miyai before Emperor Jinmu's conquest called an emperor the Japanese first, and that was planted. Both trees are guessed at with an age of the tree for more than 1000 years, and it's designated as prefecture cultural assets. The site of the fire of a conflagration in 1791 (1791) is seen by a tree on the right side and a bullet mark of Satsuma Rebellion in 1877 (1877) is seen by a left tree and.
The worship visitor who visits to see the gingko brilliant in gold doesn't cease in autumn. When a leaf will be early winter and falls, a yellow carpet is spread in the vicinity front page, and it's photogenic. Sakurajima can also be looked around around Kinkouwan Bay under the gingko tree.
