Take JR’s Nippo Main Line from Kagoshima-Chuo to Kirishima-Jingu Station. Continue on a bus towards Kirishima Iwasaki Hotel for about 15 minutes and get off at Kirishima-jingu. The station is not directly in front of the shrine. For a car visit, use the car-park route in the operator’s access guide. Ordinary passenger-car parking is free. Leave time to walk from parking to the worship area too.
