  • Trekking

    Kirishima National Park was the first park designated as a national park by Japan, and this is due to the park’s expansive landscapes of highly primeval mountains as well as the fact that the park is considered a scenic spot based on traditional views concerning landscapes worthy of preservation. The Ebino Highlands area is a major mountain climbing base located 1,200 meters above sea level, and it includes volcanos such as Karakunidake, Onamiike, Koshikidake, and Shiratoriyama, and the volcanic lake Onaminoike. The pond tour course also offers the opportunity to enjoy splendid natural landscapes including crater lakes.

    * Mount Kirishima is a volcano that remains active even today. Please follow all instructions related to areas that are off limits (or restricted).

    キャンプ

  • SUP

    Stand up paddleboarding, abbreviated as “SUP”, is a water sport. This sport offers the chance to enjoy a sensation very much like taking a stroll on the surface of a river just by standing on a board and keeping your balance as you row with a paddle. Because SUP boards are more buoyant than surfboards, they’re extremely stable. Keeping your balance on the board is also a workout for your inner muscles, so paddleboarding is great for fitness. This is your chance to practice using the gear, riding the board, and rowing as you leisurely enjoy the scenery of Sendaigawa River.

    Location　Ebino, Sendaigawa River

    “Kuruson Gorge”, an approximately 10-km gorge located at the upstream portion of Sendaigawa River, which flows through Ebino, is famous for yamame trout fishing.
