* Note: some roads and trails around the Kirishima mountains (Shinmoedake, Mount Io) are closed because of the currently an active volcano. Make sure to check the official website beforehand.

This plateau spreads out at an altitude of 1,200 meters at the foot of Mount Karakuni to the south of Ebino City. It is located within the northern part of Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park on the border with Kagoshima Prefecture. The Ebino Plateau is one of the most popular trekking spots in Miyazaki Prefecture with its rich natural scenery that varies throughout the seasons. Flowers that bloom here from spring through summer include the Kyushu azalea, or Rhododendron Kiusianum, and the Nokaido, or Malus spontanea, a natural treasure that grows nowhere else in the world. The fall features spreads of Chinese silver grass and autumn leaves, while frost-covered trees can be seen in the winter.
The Ebino Eco Museum Center and campground offers information and programs to help you enjoy the nature of the Ebino Plateau even more. The Ashiyu-no-Eki (footbath station) Ebino Kogen offers a tourist information center, gift corner, and free break area in addition to their footbath. Meanwhile, the Ebino Kogen Hotel offers amazing views of Mount Karakuni and an outdoor bath featuring constantly flowing hot spring water. Visitors can use the hot spring without spending the night, so we recommend it as a place to relax after an exhausting trek. An additional attraction is the ice skating rink near the hotel that is open only during the winter. At the southernmost skating rink in Japan, visitors can enjoy Mount Karakuni covered in snow as they skate their hearts out.
