The place is not big, if you are not praying or worshiping, it won’t take long to just look around. Like most temples, it looks solemn and quiet. The landscape and surroundings are well maintained.

Very quiet and comforting place... Surrounded with nature ... Amazing view of Sakurajima

Superb shrine, embeded in the mountainous woody area north of Kirishima. Kirishima-Jingü is a "must visit", very emblematic of Kyushu island. Trees, running water, tweeting birds.... very relaxing.

It is located in Kagoshima and it is one of the most beautiful shrine I've ever seen in Japan. By the entrance, the place also has some restaurants, and souvenir stores so might want to check that out. Also, don't forget to buy and bring home some lucky charms.

It's good weather today, it was beautiful sightseeing. I'm so amazed of the Torii gate and the view was fantastic.

Beautiful place. I liked the crescendo : the more you progress, the more everything around you gets beautiful. I don't want to spoil the pleasure for anyone, so I won't say much more. Just look around. Just a suggestion: After crossing the bridge, instead of going up the stairs, you could take a left, and then a right to the stairs that lead to Kame Ishi. Then you could go directly to Yama Shrine (left), which is worth a detour, and only then stroll to the main temple. Without missing the beautiful, moss-covered, fountain on the way.

It is quiet place and not many people were there. Need to climb up a flight of steps but vehicles could drive up to near the temple. At the foot of the hill, there were shops and some snack, ramen shops.

This shrine is absolutely stunning! It’s designated as a National Treasure and pays tribute to Ninigi, the grandson of the sun goddess Amaterasu and the progenitor of the Imperial Family. It is also called the “Nikko of the West” because of its beautiful vermillion buildings and carvings. I could really feel the spiritual energy of this place (it is one of Japan’s “power spots”). If you’re into Japanese history and nature, you absolutely can’t miss it!

Beautiful shrine. You can hire guides (English speaking). There are 30 different areas of interest on the site, so be mindful to keep moving as there's a lot to see.

Live up to its name of one of the top mystic shrine in Kyushu. Came on gloomy morning and was blown away by Kirishima Shrine. Kirishima as the name implies translate to Fog engulf shrine. The place feels so surreal and mystic with the fog covering the shrine. Lots of nature trails as well. To reach Kirishima Shrine from Kagoshima, simply take the shinkasen to Kirishima Jingu Mae, then take a local bus to the shrine. Do take note that the bus takes cash ¥290.

When I come to Kagoshima, I go to Kirishima Shrine. Being that it had been a very long time, I drew my fortune. The result was a great fortune. Hope comes true as you wish. Don't be lost in the words of others. The result was "DAIKICHI". I am very grateful. I am really happy to hear that.

Beautiful and spacious shrine complex surrounded by forest. It was especially stunning during cherry blossom season. Plenty of free parking available through multiple lots.

This is the spiritual place you get surrounded by the best vibes, recommend to visit in early morning to avoid the crowd and enjoy this peaceful moment to the fullest.

Not bad, but we were already so shrined out on this trip.

Great nostalgic place for photos, especially during the cherry blossoms time! However there isn’t much beyond that.

Small station in the middle of no where which still has some trains stopping. Seems to be popular with photographers

It is a good place to go. Although this station already stopped to operate for years, all the structure and interior are in good condition.

Pleasant place

Great place for photos

Oh！RADIO ♥＆✌️

(Translated by Google) As someone who knows the era when the Kyushu Shinkansen was opened, the fast SL Hitoyoshi, Isaburo, Shinpei, limited express Hayato Kaze service, and the construction of the Hisatsu Line Golden Line, it was a great time, I am relieved in a sense to return to the original quiet station. There are no cars in the parking lot near the station, where sightseeing buses can be parked for tourists, and the ekiben, the takenoko bento box that once boasted the best sales in Kyushu, is sold by aunties selling local products. I could no longer see her. Today, it is an unmanned station in Kyushu's oldest wooden station building, the same as Osumi-Yokogawa Station, where one-man diesel cars quietly stop and depart between Hayato Station and Yoshimatsu Station. (Original) 九州新幹線開業、快速SL人吉、いさぶろう,しんぺい、特急はやとの風運行と肥薩線黄金ライン構築でイケイケだった時代を知る私としては元の静寂駅に戻ってある意味安堵している。 観光客用に整備した観光バスも駐車できる駅近駐車場には車は一台もおらず、かつて一時期だが九州一の販売を誇ったタケノコ弁当の駅弁の販売も地場産品を販売するおばちゃん達の姿も見かけられなくなってしまった。 今は隼人駅⇔吉松駅間のワンマン気動車が静かに停車し出発する、大隅横川駅と同じ九州最古の木造駅舎の無人駅です。

This waterfall while small in scale, but it seems to be more impressive in person than seeing it from photos for me. The blue pond below with the constant stream makes great photography. Limited parking next to it.

It's the rock attracted me most! The fall itself is nice though it can't be compared with other bigger falls like the one in Nikko. The water is a bit blue and the rock in the bottom of the fall suggests the power of the fall. Good to stop by and have a look!

The one day bus pass it’s very convenient. you can get off at the 霧島溫泉市場，and walk 12 minutes passing the hiking trail entrance the Fall is right in front of you.

This falls is in Maruo Onsen area. If you walk from Maruo Onsen, it will take about 10 minutes to get there. There is a trail network around the falls you can enjoy. But if you are not a hiking fan, you can also enjoy the view of the Maruo Falls from the road. This spot, you don't have to hike at all. There is a small hut at the falls. You can sit there to enjoy the view of the beautiful falls in the hut.

It is located at the side of the road, should be able to see it closely but it was under construction at the moment. It is free to go there, very near to the onsen centre, why not have a look ?

There was a land slide on one of the roads leading to the fall. That road is closed for all traffic. Entry is free

A nice waterfall in the Kirishima onsen town. There are some local trails to walk and explore the nature.

A small waterfall by the main road. Beautiful and with parking space.

鹿児島空港3階展望デッキ南側にある航空展示室。 鹿児島空港の歴史から、飛行機の仕組みまで分かりやすく楽しめる展示になっています。展示品についても、実物のタイヤやエンジンファンブレード、ウイングレット、訓練用客室モックアップ(実際に訓練で使用中)と充実した内容です。また飛行機の歴史がわかる年表とともに世界の有名な飛行機の模型(民間機は各乗り入れ航空会社中心カラー)も多数展示されています。 体験できる固定型シミュレーターも2種類あり、誰もが楽しめるというコンセプト通り見学者を飽きさせない工夫もあります。 昔の空港の座席とパタパタ音のあるフラップ式案内表示板もあり、ゆっくり座席に座って懐かしさを感じながら早朝訪問の一時休憩出来ました。 空港にある航空関連施設としてはかなりの規模と工夫がなされた施設だと思います。展望デッキとも接続していますので、ぜひ鹿児島空港お立ち寄りの際にご訪問ください。 (Translated by Google) The aviation exhibition room is located on the south side of the observation deck on the 3rd floor of Kagoshima Airport. The exhibits are easy to understand and enjoy, from the history of Kagoshima Airport to the mechanics of airplanes. The exhibits are also rich in content, including actual tires, engine fan blades, winglets, and a training cabin mockup (actually used in training). There is also a chronology showing the history of airplanes, as well as many models of famous airplanes from around the world (commercial planes are painted in the colors of the airlines they fly into). There are also two types of stationary simulators that you can experience, and in keeping with the concept that everyone can enjoy it, there are also ways to keep visitors from getting bored. There were old airport seats and a flap-type information board with a flapping sound, so I was able to sit comfortably and feel nostalgic while taking a break from my early morning visit. I think it's a fairly large and well-thought-out facility for an aviation-related facility at an airport. It is also connected to the observation deck, so be sure to visit it when you stop by Kagoshima Airport.

Hood exhibition hall at 3rd floor of Domestic Terminal of Kagoshima Airport.

鹿児島空港3階にある航空展示室です。無料の展示にしては、飛行機の歴史や模型、本物の飛行機の部品、フライトシュミレーター（有料）など、かなり楽しめます。意外と存在に気がついていない人も多いのではないでしょうか。 航空機のタイヤは200回の離着陸で交換するなど、知らなかったことも多いので、大人も子供も勉強にもなります。 (Translated by Google) This is an aviation exhibition room on the 3rd floor of Kagoshima Airport. Although it's a free exhibit, it's quite fun to see the history of airplanes, models, real airplane parts, and a flight simulator (for a fee). Surprisingly, many people may not be aware of its existence. There are many things you don't know about, such as the fact that airplane tires are replaced after 200 takeoffs and landings, so it's a great learning experience for both adults and children.

(Translated by Google) Enter from the second floor of Kagoshima Airport. Those who like airplanes and those who have children will enjoy it. The model, history, airplane parts, and training room exhibits are outstanding. There was also an airplane simulator. I couldn't use it because it was a late visit (I remember it, but it works until about 5 o'clock?) (Original) 鹿児島空港二階から入れます。 飛行機好きな方や、お子さんがいる方は楽しめると思います。 模型や歴史、飛行機のパーツや訓練用客室の展示など見応え抜群です。 飛行機のシミュレーターもありました。遅い時間の訪問だったので利用できず(うろ覚えですが五時頃まで稼働？)

(Translated by Google) Free airplane exhibit. I think it's excellent that the scale of the model is standardized and you can compare the size of the airplane. It was very easy to understand because I could list and compare various wing shapes and engine differences. It seems that you can enjoy the simulator during the day for 300 yen once. About 30 minutes to look carefully. (Original) 無料の飛行機の展示館。 模型の縮尺が統一されていて、飛行機のサイズ比較ができるのは優秀だと思う。さまざまな翼の形状やエンジンの差異など、一覧して比較できるので、とても分かりやすかった。 日中はシュミレーターも一回300円で楽しめるみたい。 じっくり見て30分くらい。

(Translated by Google) As an exhibition facility in the airport facility, the contents are also very substantial. You can enjoy it for free. There is also a flight simulator that can be enjoyed by both adults and children. (Original) 空港施設内にある展示施設としては内容もとても充実しています。無料で楽しめます。フライトシミュレーターもあり、大人から子どもまで楽しむことが出来ます。

飛行機の歴史が特に面白い。 平日の18時頃に行ったら大人２人しかいなく、時間潰しに行くには勿体ないレベルです。 この日は空港内が何故か暑く、展望デッキに出たら心地よい風であっという間に時間が経ってしまいました。 操縦シュミレーション本当はやりたかった～ (Translated by Google) The history of airplanes is especially interesting. When I went there around 6pm on a weekday, there were only two adults there, so it was a waste of time to go there to kill time. For some reason, it was very hot inside the airport that day, and when I went out to the observation deck, there was a pleasant breeze and the time passed quickly. I really wanted to do a pilot simulation.

鹿児島空港が鴨池にあった頃からの変遷やフライトシュミレーターなど大人も子供も楽しめる。 特に、機体がそのまま置いてあって中に入ることができるのは感動する。まだこの機体を使って研修をすることもあると書いてあった。すっごい廊下の奥にあるので諦めずに進んでください (Translated by Google) Both adults and children can enjoy the history of Kagoshima Airport since it was located in Kamoike, as well as a flight simulator. It's especially impressive that the aircraft is left untouched and you can go inside. It was written that this aircraft may still be used for training. It's at the back of a huge hallway, so don't give up and keep going.

鹿児島空港併設の航空機やその歴史に纏わる展示スペース。 最初に結論から書いておきますが、航空機に多少なりとも興味があれば子連れでなくとも立ち寄るべき超良質の展示と断言します。 これが無料とはにわかに信じ難い出色の出来栄えです。 空港内側から入ると航空機のミニチュア展示スペースを最初に通りますが、先ずここからが凄い。 おびただしい数のミニチュアと壁面に書かれた説明で、航空機の歴史や未来への展望、各航空会社の旅客機の紹介などがされています。 ちゃんと読み取るとここだけで一時間くらい経ってしまいそうです。 その先にある展示スペースも圧巻で、真ん中にどんと置かれているのがANA提供ターボジェットエンジンのファンブレード。 実機から取り外した本物です。 そしてこれがどのようなものかを説明した資料がとても分かり易く、子供のみならず大人が勉強できるようになっています。 奥に置かれたJALの飛行機の胴体は恐らくキャビンアテンダント育成用の模擬機体。中に入れる機会なんて殆どないのですから貴重な体験です。 子供向けのフライトシミュレータがあるのでお子さんも楽しむ事ができるでしょう。 そして最後、JAL提供747-300のノーズカウルを通って鹿児島空港展望台に出るという演出。 担当者の意気込みが伝わってきます。 (Translated by Google) An exhibition space attached to Kagoshima Airport related to aircraft and their history. First, let me write the conclusion, but I would definitely say that this is an extremely high-quality exhibit that you should stop by even if you are not bringing children with you if you have any interest in aircraft. It's so amazing that it's hard to believe that this is free. When you enter from the inside of the airport, you first pass through the miniature aircraft exhibition space, which is amazing. Numerous miniatures and explanations written on the walls explain the history of aircraft, prospects for the future, and introductions to the passenger planes of each airline. If you read it properly, it looks like it will take about an hour just here. The exhibition space ahead is also impressive, and in the middle is a fan blade from a turbojet engine provided by ANA. This is the real thing that was removed from the actual machine. The materials explaining what this is all about are very easy to understand and can be studied not only by children but also by adults. The fuselage of a JAL plane placed in the back is probably a mock aircraft for training cabin attendants. There are very few opportunities to go inside, so it's a valuable experience. There is a flight simulator for kids, so your kids will have fun too. And finally, the performance involves passing through the nose cowl of a 747-300 provided by JAL and exiting to the Kagoshima Airport Observation Deck. You can feel the enthusiasm of the person in charge.

これはすごい！ 飛行機好きは必ず時間を取って早く訪れて観光地の一つとして行くべきです。早朝便にしてしまって10分ほどしか見れなかったのがくやまれます。。全部読んで体験するなら2時間は欲しいところ。 飛行機の歴史とその模型、現在の飛行機の一部の実物タイヤ、シミュレーターなど飛行機の知識から体験まで楽しめます。 飛行機好きには、鹿児島の観光地の中でもかなり魅力的で、むしろここに時間を使うべきでした。 (Translated by Google) it's amazing! Airplane enthusiasts should definitely take the time to visit this place early and see it as one of the tourist destinations. I regret that I took an early morning flight and was only able to see it for about 10 minutes. . If you want to read and experience the whole thing, you'll need at least 2 hours. You can enjoy everything from knowledge about airplanes to hands-on experience, including the history of airplanes and their models, real tires from some of today's airplanes, and simulators. For airplane enthusiasts, this is a very attractive tourist spot in Kagoshima, and we should have spent more time there.

鹿児島空港の航空機に関する展示室。 実物のウイングレットやタイヤ、キャビンのモックなどの展示があります。 有料のフライトシュミレーターあり。 滑走路の展望テラスもあります。 (Translated by Google) An exhibition room related to aircraft at Kagoshima Airport. There are exhibits such as actual winglets, tires, and a mock cabin. There is a flight simulator available for a fee. There is also a terrace with a view of the runway.

空港展示室になります。 飛行機のモックアップもあり、公開されている時間は中に入る事が出来ます。 (Translated by Google) This will be an airport exhibition room. There is also a mock-up of an airplane, and you can go inside during open hours.

There is 初午祭 on 24/2/2019. It is a great experience to join the events. There are many horse parade with music and dance. Many Japanese come and join the festival with family. There are foods street and games stores aside the parade path...

Beautiful shrine in the middle of Kirishima....

Well first I want to mention that this place is not much entertaining but if you just want to visit then this will be useful, behind the shrine these are sequences of Torii gates that will take you to Inari shrine, found that to be little interesting, so just give a try

Surprisingly, the main shrine of Kagoshima is not in Kagoshima city. It is in Hayato. And it is a gorgeous shrine. There are many other auxiliary shrines throughout the grounds. And… there is a festival that happens here around late February/early March that involves dancing horses.

Major prefectural shrine. Not a highly touristy place but are still welcome

A lovely, cool walk. Excellent parking area and adequate restrooms. Nice staff. I want to come back for some history!

Quiet shrine nestled in a small town. Close to the onsen resorts of Kirishima.

Good👍
