Insider tip — 'Shiratori Onsen Joto Yu' (白鳥温泉上の湯 — white bird spring, upper bath) in Ebino city — one of Kyushu's most spectacular high-altitude onsen. Ebino Plateau (Ebino Kogen, 1,200 m) sits within Kirishima-Yaku National Park, surrounded by active crater lakes, volcanic peaks, and the silhouette of Shinmoedake. The white bird (shiratori) name honours the whooper swans that appear at the highland lakes in winter. The strongly sulfurous upper bath at elevation has panoramic views across the volcanic plateau.
