 Tips about Kirishima Shrine

Visitors recommend the shrine during autumn for colorful scenery and sunset views. Live rituals can be observed, but no photography is allowed. Abundant parking available. Accessible by public bus, ample parking, and light hiking nearby. The serene shrine, nestled at Mt. Kirishima's foot, features beautiful vermilion buildings, old cedars, and sacred cedar tree over 800 years old. Peaceful energy and spiritual experience. Highly recommended for a 1-2 hour visit to appreciate nature, history, and tradition.
