Very informative place and very near the volcanic area. Worth a visit before you head up to the volcano

Good place to learn about geography of this area.

They provide signage on English so I was able to enjoy learning and looking at exhibits on volcanism and wildlife. Great museum!

Fantasticly informative! 3D models and video's with great english subtitles were so educational, I left with a different perspective of the mountains around it👍

Great information and pictures here.

Good.

(Translated by Google) “Fudo Pond” is located on the way to Mt. Koshiki while hiking, but there are restrictions on its use as Mt. Io is currently active. Byakushi Pond and Rokukannon Oike are also beautiful, but you can see the whole picture just right and it is beautiful (2021.10.07) I went up from Kokubu on a bicycle. It's a small but beautiful cobalt blue volcanic lake and it feels great to watch it 😃 (2017.11.16) (Original) 山歩きで甑岳目指す途中にある“不動池”だが現在硫黄山が活発なため規制あり。白紫池、六観音御池も綺麗だけど、全体像を丁度良い感じで観れて綺麗です（2021.10.07） チャリで国分から登ってきました。小さいながらコバルトブルーの美しい火山湖で観ていて気持ちがいいですよ😃（2017.11.16）

(Translated by Google) 2022.5.22 I walked all the way along the pond exploration trail aiming for Fudo Pond💦It was quite difficult as there were many ups and downs and some places were difficult to walk. I went there imagining the Japanese pampas grass in full bloom, but instead of the flowers, I was disappointed to see that the leaves were growing like a wasteland. I want it. Even though it is a geopark, it feels like a wasteland💦If you imagine azaleas in full bloom as seen on posters, you will be disappointed🤣I like azaleas more than pampas grass!I want to see the azaleas in full bloom!Going around the pond While I was there, I wanted to take a photo of the forest and azalea collaboration, but I didn't feel like I missed the right time, or rather it was pampas grass. gives a sense of wasteland💦 I want them to be pruned properly and fertilized properly. Fudoike Pond was still beautiful, and along the way you could hear mushrooms, rare flowers, and the voices of wild birds, which was soothing, but it was a 5-hour round trip (lol).I think it would be even better if the Japanese aquarium was beautiful. (Original) 2022.5.22 池巡り探勝路を不動池を目指してひたすら歩きました💦アップダウンも激しいし、歩きにくい所もありなかなか大変でした。ミヤマキリシマが咲き誇っているのを想像して行きましたが花よりススキ?マカヤの葉が荒地のように生えていてガッカリしました😑ススキの時期はススキ、ツツジの時期はツツジとしっかり手入れをして欲しい。 せっかくジオパークとなってるのに荒地感がヤバい💦ポスターとかで見るツツジ満開をイメージしてくるとがっかりします🤣私はススキよりツツジが好き!ミヤマキリシマが一面に咲き誇るのを見たい!池巡りしながら森とツツジのコラボした写真が撮りたくて行ったけど時期を逃した感じというよりススキ？が荒れ地感を出してて💦 ちゃんとキレイに剪定したり、追肥したりして欲しい。不動池は変わらず美しかったし、途中キノコや珍しい花、野鳥の声を聞いたり癒されるんですけど往復5時間は軽くかかる道です（笑）ミヤマキリシマがキレイなら尚良しだと思います。

(Translated by Google) It was a beautiful cerulean blue even when seen with the naked eye! ✨ 2019.8. Although the eruption alert level of Mt. Io has been lowered to level 1, vehicle traffic has been closed at the entrance to the Mt. Koshiki mountain trail via Ikoma Kogen. There is also a risk of volcanic gas generation. The guide says to prepare a handkerchief. You can park your car in the parking lot and walk to Fudoike Pond in less than 5 minutes, but please be aware of the risks and do so at your own risk. There were also wild deer! You also need to be careful about bees in the summer 😊 (Original) 肉眼で見ても凄くキレイなセルリアンブルーでした！✨ 2019.8.硫黄山噴火警戒レベル１に引き下げられてますが、生駒高原経由ルートの甑岳登山道入り口で車両通行止めになっておりました。 火山ガス発生の恐れもあります。ハンカチの準備…と、案内に書いてあります。 駐車場に車を停め、徒歩５分もかからない距離に不動池はありますが危険も承知の上、自己責任でお願い致します。 野生の鹿もいました！ 夏場は蜂にも注意が必要です😊

(Translated by Google) National Route 1 was regulated, so I walked there from the pond tour course, and it took 5 hours round trip while enjoying the scenery and taking photos🤣 I love the Japanese red pine and Japanese aquarium, and the air is so clear that I felt refreshed from the core of my body 👍 I visited on Sunday, May 22, 2022, and it was a good exercise and a fun time 👌 Ever since I came here on a school trip when I was in elementary school, I was captivated by the mystery of nature and have been in love with this place for over 40 years. It's a wonderful place that you'll never get tired of, as there are many places to see throughout the season. (Original) 国道1号線が規制されて池巡りコースから歩いて訪れ、景観を楽しみながら&写真撮りながら往復『5時間💦』でした🤣 アカマツやミヤマキリシマが大好きで、しかも空気は澄みきっているので体の芯からリフレッシュできました👍 2022年5月22日(日曜日)に訪れ、いい運動になって楽しい一時でした👌 小学校の時に修学旅行で来てから『大自然の神秘さ』に魅了されて、この地が大好きになって40数年😂 季節季節に見て回るところもはたくさんあって、飽きの来ない素敵な場所です。

(Translated by Google) When I visited, there was a sign saying to be careful of toxic gas generation, so I couldn't take a good look at it. Looking at other people's posts, there is information that the road is closed, and in the winter, the road condition is poor due to snow. It's not a good idea, so if you can pass by the road, it might be a good idea to just take a look. However, there is no doubt that it is a beautiful scenery. (Original) 訪れた時は有毒ガス発生注意というような看板があり、ゆっくりは見ることが出来なかった。 他の人の書き込みを見ると通行止めになっているという情報もあるのと、冬の時期は雪で道路状況が よろしくないので道を通れたらちょっと眺めるくらいの気持ちでいいかのかもしれない。 ただ、綺麗な景色であるのは間違いない。

(Translated by Google) It's located on the Ebino Highlands, so it's relatively easy to get to, but when I went there for the first time, I was surprised to see steam coming out of the road. A road runs over an active volcano. It is difficult to get close to Mt. Sulfur when it is active, so it is necessary to check on the spot. It looks like a caldera lake, and the water is beautiful. (Original) えびの高原にあるので、比較的行き易い場所ですが、初めて行った時に道路から水蒸気が出ていて驚きました。活動中の火山の上に道路が通っているというわけです。硫黄山が活発化していると近寄るのは難しいので、現地で確認が必要。カルデラ湖のようで、水は綺麗です。

(Translated by Google) Due to volcanic gas being generated (as of February 2018), long-term parking is not possible. Climbing Mt. Sulfur is prohibited. Still, I want to see it. (Original) 火山ガス発生中（2018年2月現在）で、長時間の駐車は不可。硫黄山は登山禁止です。それでも眺めたくなるところです。

Great place for leisure hiking. Several trails with different levels of difficulties. As the earthquake hit recently, parts of the trails were closed. You should ask the information counter before start. Paid car park lots are available at the starting point.

Wasn't expecting a hike, we thought there was a lookout spot with a good view. But as we arrived, the very nice parking lot attendant told us to come back to him after we parked and he had an English map of the park prepared for us with some hand written tips about the place and where the trail was blocked because of an recent eruption. The hike took around 2 hours and it wasnt TOO challenging but a good change of pace. The view on the plateau wasnt TOO spectacular but it was very enjoyable.

Lots of trails and beautiful scenery

If you enjoy hiking and ending it with an onsen (hot spring) soak, this place is for you. It can be quite challenging to do a day trip as you'd need to pretty much take the first/second transport in and the last bus out is pretty early. Do check with multiple sources on the time table just in case. At the Ebino plateau (kogen), there are multiple peaks you can hike to, but if you're not staying nearby, it's difficult to top them all and you'd have to make a choice based on your ability and judgement for a good in/out point. There are spots where the path is blocked. Do consult with the updated maps.

A fantasy land for anyone who loves volcanism. Nice visitor center that introduces the forces at play in the area, plus plentiful parking. Hiking trails lead to a number of sites including crater lakes, fumaroles, volcanic peaks, and unforgettable scenery. From the top of the Karakuni-dake trail, views extend all the way to Sakurajima, which some say is Japan’s most active volcano.

Very beautiful place but unfortunately the road at the top us closed due to volcanic activity.

Amazing nature, great views. The tracks are good, but you should wear appropriate shoes. Requires a good fitness level. Amazing experience.

(Translated by Google) It's usually a quiet station, but today it's very busy because "Kyomachi Futsukaichi 2019.2.2-2.3" is being held. We are currently renovating our home. Number of passengers: 69 per day (not including passengers getting off) (Original) 普段は静かな駅ですが、今日は「京町二日市2019.2.2～2.3」が開催されていますので大変な賑わいです。現在ホームを改修中です。乗車人員は69人/日（降車客含まず）

(Translated by Google) It is an unmanned station with a retro feel. I visited on a weekday and it was quiet. The platforms and stations were kept well-cleaned. Next time I would like to visit a hot spring when touring. (Original) レトロな感じの無人駅です 平日訪問で閑散としていましたが ホームや駅は綺麗に掃除が行き届いてました 今度はツーリング時に温泉も来たいと思います

(Translated by Google) The empty, unmanned station remains the same. The location of the station has moved slightly and is now new. large parking lot beautiful facility clean toilet Space to shelter from the rain and wind some types of vending machines For some reason, piano lol Access to the Sanroku Line will be wider and cleaner, making it safer for pedestrians. Please note that the direction of the stop sign has changed from before! Rumor has it that people were getting arrested for not stopping at one point, probably because the stop sign was in a very high position. After that, the stop sign was lowered. LOL Everyone, please stop for safety reasons. ₍₍( ´ ᵕ ` *)⁾⁾ (Original) 何もない無人駅っていうのは、あい変わらず 駅の位置が若干移動し、新しくなりました 広い駐車場 綺麗な施設 清潔なトイレ 雨風しのげるスペース いく種類かの自販機 なぜか、ピアノ 笑笑 山麓線へのアクセスが、広くなって綺麗になって、歩行者には安心できるかと 止まれの標識の向きが昔と変わったのが、注意点！ 止まれの標識が一時期、非常ーーーに高い位置にあったせいか、「一時不停止」で捕まってたという噂 その後、止まれの標識の位置が低くなってました 笑笑 みなさん、安全のためにもしっかりと止まりましょうね ₍₍( ´ ᵕ ` *)⁾⁾

(Translated by Google) The toilets here are good.My legs are hurting now, so I'm relieved by the toilets here.It's easy to enter the Sanroku Line.It's great that there are vending machines on the station platform.The multipurpose toilets are convenient.A tray to carry the baby. It's nice (I come here when I forget to change my underwear after taking a bath) When stopping temporarily at a railroad crossing, it is easy to confirm that the train headed for Yoshimatsu and Kagoshima is stopping at the platform.Also, the frustration of waiting for the train to pass has been eliminated.In the past, the railroad crossing was located further west, so you can confirm that the train is stopping at the railroad crossing. It was quiet (Original) ここのトイレはいい現在足を痛めているのでここのトイレのおかげでたすかっている 山麓線への入り込みがスムーズだ 駅ホームに自動販売機があるのがなんともいい 多目的トイレが便利だ 赤ちゃんを乗せるトレーがいい(風呂に入り下着を着替え忘れた時ここへきて利用している) 踏切で一時停止するとき吉松.鹿児島方面へ向かう列車がホームに停車してるのが確認しやすい また列車が通過するまでのイライラが解消された 従来は踏切がもっと西寄りにあり踏切で停車中確認しずらかった

(Translated by Google) Both the station and the station square are well maintained and clean. (Original) 駅も駅前も整備されており、きれいです。

(Translated by Google) commemorative visit The station building and railroad crossings have also been updated. (Original) 訪問記念 駅舎も踏切も更新されました。

Great climb, great views from the top. I went in November, and it was incredibly windy, so make sure you bring something to cover you from the wind.

Bring good shoes, a camera, and plenty of water for this totally worthwhile rocky hike to mesmerizing views that’ll please any volcano lover. From the summit see 4 crater lakes, a bunch of neighboring volcanoes, fumaroles, several towns, and even Sakurajima floating in the bay far below. Absolutely a stunning way to satisfy the lust for volcanism and all its characteristics.

Fun hike. Really pretty views of the whole park, and the crater lake.

it was so hard but in the end i was so thankful,my sister was cancer free and im very thankful and the first and above all is god🙏😇

Love it !

(Translated by Google) It is the highest peak of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains, Mt. Kirishima. Although it was Sunday, the place was crowded with many people. Although it wasn't a clear and sunny day, we could see Sakurajima across the Onami Pond and had a good view. The mountain trail is gentle from beginning to end, and there are no dangerous spots at all. (Original) 日本百名山霧島山の最高峰です。日曜日でしたが、沢山の人で賑わっていました。スッキリと快晴ではなかったですが、大波池の向こうに桜島が見えて良い展望でした。 登山道は終始緩やかで危険なところは全くありません。

(Translated by Google) One of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains, which can be climbed in 2 hours round trip from Ebino Plateau. It was a very nice mountain with lots of things to see, such as the sights and sounds of Mt. Io, and the large crater. (Original) えびの高原から往復2時間で登れる日本百名山。 硫黄山の景色や音、大きな火口など見どころが沢山でとてもいい山だった。
