Shiratori Yama, Active volcano in Ebino, Japan.

Shiratori Yama is a 1302-meter volcano in the Kirishima range, in Ebino, Miyazaki Prefecture. Its summit area holds the crater lake Byakushi-ike, and the maar lake Rokkannonmi-ike lies to the southeast. The mountain is a composite volcano whose present form was set by eruptions between 25,000 and 18,000 years ago.

The Kirishima volcanic system, which includes this mountain, shaped the regional landscape through numerous eruptions spanning tens of thousands of years. This volcanic activity continues to define the area's current geology and terrain.

Shiratori Shrine, founded in 959 by the monk Shōkū, sits on the northern slope and is reached by a pilgrimage path to Rokkannon-miike pond. Natural forest survives along this approach, unlike the cedar and cypress plantations below 1,000 metres. The Shimazu lords visited the shrine during the Edo period.

The mountain rises in the south of Ebino, with the crater lake Byakushi-ike on the south side of the summit and the maar lake Rokkannonmi-ike to the southeast. A trail runs from Shiratori Shrine, on the north slope, past the shrine to Rokkannonmi-ike, passing through natural forest. Below 1,000 m on the north slope the cover is planted cedar and cypress.

The 959 founding of Shiratori Shrine on the north slope is credited to the monk Shōkū, who came to the mountain to practise asceticism. In the Edo period the Shimazu lords, who ruled the area, visited the shrine repeatedly. The shrine and Shiratori Onsen sit on the northern flank, below the summit.
