Ebino

Ebino is a city in southwestern Miyazaki Prefecture with volcanic plateaus and forested mountain slopes. The area includes the Kakuto Basin, home to numerous hot springs scattered throughout the landscape.

The current city of Ebino formed in 1966 when three separate towns—Iino, Kakuto, and Masayuki—merged into one. City status came four years later in 1970.

The Uchiue Festival has marked harvests for more than 400 years, shaping how locals gather and celebrate seasonal changes. Cow jumping events show how the community values its livestock and rural traditions.

Trains on the Kitto Line connect to major destinations with stops at Ebino Iino, Ebino Uwae, and Kyomachi Onsen stations. These stations serve as entry points for exploring the region and its surrounding areas.

The Ebino Plateau sits within Kirishima-Yaku National Park, offering outdoor activities year-round on volcanic terrain. The landscape allows visitors to hike, observe nature, and engage in water sports across geologically varied scenery.
