Kirishima Jingu is a Shinto shrine located in the Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park area. Kirishima Jingu Shrine is known for both the legends surrounding it that have been passed down from generation to generation as well as for being the best "power spot" in Kirishima. We recommend not only visiting the majestic vermillion shrine buildings, but also checking out the the view from the observatory along the road leading to the shrine. On a clear day, Kagoshima Bay, Sakurajima Island, the Kagoshima City area, and Kaimondake are all visible.
