Bus Schedule to Kirishima Shrine

My plan is to visit Ebino Kogen on a Saturday or Sunday as there are 2 buses operating this route . I will take the JR train from Kagoshimachuo Station to JR Kirishima Jingu station. As the bus from JR Kirishima Jingu station leaves at 10.20 am to Ebino Kogen, I plan to arrive at JR Kirishima Jingu station at around 9.15 am. Take a bus to Kirishima Shrine and from Kirishima Shrine take the 10.33 am bus to Ebino Kogen.

The japan-guide mentioned that there are 7 buses per day to Kirishima Shrine. Does anyone have the timetable..

Thanks

Sandy

There are departures at 7:51 and 9:51, arriving at the shrine at 8:04 and 10:04. The buses to Ebino Kogen leave the shrine at 8:13 and 10:33.

Hi Uji & William

Thanks for the information. You have been most helpful.

Very usefull, indeed! Thanks for all comments. I would like to know how much is a one way ticket (from Kirishima Jingu St. to Ebino Kogen) by bus? Is a JR-Pass valid to ride this bus? Furthermore I want to know, if anyone can recommend an online-hiking map to balance a day-trip in this NP.

What's referring to the pdf-timetables, does exist such one for the route Kagoshima-Airport to Kagoshima-city (Kagoshimachuo)?

Thanks folks

The one-way bus fare is 740 yen. This bus ride is not covered by the JR Pass. Sorry, I do not have the hiking map.

Sandy

thanks for this information, Sandy
