    (Translated by Google) 2022/3/11 Altitude 1,700m. One of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains. Mt. Karakunidake, the highest peak of the Kirishima mountain range, the source of energy for the people of Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures. It is sometimes written as Mt. Karakuni, and it seems that the Shimazu clan, who was a feudal lord in the Edo period, often visited the mountain. The weather was not so good today, but I climbed from Mt. Karakuni-dake trailhead in Ebino Kogen. I will attach the photos in order. This course is the shortest, taking 1 hour and 40 minutes to reach the summit and 1 hour and 20 minutes to return. Climbing equipment required. There are no chains, steep climbs, or dangerous spots, but please be careful not to get too close to the summit or the eastern side of the rocky ridge leading to the summit, as there is a cliff (crater). Also, when descending, there is a branch that is difficult to understand from the trace just below the summit, and it is easy to accidentally go straight towards Onami Pond, so please follow the sign and go to the right (towards the crater ridge). Today, the summit was foggy and there was no view, but on the way, I could see Mt. Ebino Kogen No. 1 parking lot (500 yen, with toilet and shoe washing area) is located near the trailhead. Have a nice climb everyone! (Original) 2022/3/11 標高1,700m。日本百名山の一座。鹿児島県そして宮崎県の方々のエネルギーの源、心の山である霧島連峰の最高峰、韓国岳(カラクニダケ)。唐国岳と表記される事もあり、江戸時代には領主であった島津氏も度々登山に訪れた様です。本日天気はあまり良くありませんでしたが、えびの高原にある韓国岳登山口より登山をさせて頂きました。順に写真を添付致します。このコースは最短コースで、山頂迄コースタイム1時間40分、帰りは1時間20分です。登山装備必要です。鎖場、急登箇所、危険箇所は有りませんが、山頂や山頂へつながる岩稜の東側は崖(火口)となっていますので近づきすぎないように十分注意して下さい。また、下山時、山頂直下にトレースからは分かりづらい分岐があり、うっかり直進ぎみの大浪池方面へ行きがちですので、看板に従い右方向(火口の尾根方向)へ行ってください。本日山頂部は霧で眺望はありませんでしたが、道中、硫黄山や勢いよく噴き上がる噴煙を望め、火の国九州を堪能することが出来ました。登山口間近にえびの高原第一駐車場(500円、トイレと靴洗い場有り)があります。それでは皆様よい登山を!

    (Translated by Google) I climbed from Ebino Kogen No. 1 parking lot. Almost all of the mountain trails are guided by ropes and there is a sense of security. Since there are no trees to block the sunlight from around the rest area on the way, it is essential to take measures against heat and direct sunlight. (Original) えびの高原第一駐車場から登りました。 登山道はほぼ全てがロープにより誘導されており安心感があります。 途中の休憩所あたりからは日差しを遮る木々が無くなるため暑さや直射日光対策が必須です。

    (Translated by Google) Climbed in early December. Starting from Ebino Kogen...or rather, the surrounding volcanoes are too active, and most of the other trails are blocked due to volcanic gas. There is no The road is a little steep, but there are no rocky areas, so even if you are not used to mountain climbing, you can reach the summit. However, please be aware that the wooden stairs on the way are collapsing, and if you walk with full confidence, you will not avoid falling (I guess the desperate maintenance has not caught up). The pot on the top of the mountain is huge and worth seeing. The view is good, and when you look around, the surrounding volcanoes are still blowing smoke, and it feels strange that only Mt. Karakunidake has a mountain trail. (Original) 12月初頭に登頂。えびの高原からスタート……というよりも周囲の火山の活動が活発すぎ,他の登山道は火山ガスが原因でほぼ封鎖されているため,2022年現在ではここと大浪池経由の登山道以外は道が無い。道は多少急だが,ほぼ岩場らしい岩場もなく,それほど登山に慣れていなくても登頂可能である。ただし,道中の木製の階段は崩壊気味で,全幅の信頼をおいて歩くと転倒を免れないので注意してほしい(必死の整備が追いついていないのだろう)。 山頂のお釜は巨大で見応えあり。眺望は良く,見渡すとやはり周囲の火山がもくもくと煙を吐いており,韓国岳のみ登山道が生きているのが不思議な気分になる。

    (Translated by Google) Climbing equipment is necessary, but you can easily enjoy climbing and encounter wonderful scenery. While watching the volcanic smoke of Mt. Most of the Onami Pond route has wooden paths. It has collapsed in places, and I think maintenance will be difficult. (Original) 登山装備は必要ですが、気軽に登山が楽しめ、素晴らしい景色に出会えます。行きは硫黄山の噴煙を横に見ながら、帰りは大浪池経由で下山しました。大浪池ルートはほとんど木道が整備されてます。所々崩壊しており、維持管理が大変だろうと思います。

    Great view of the chain of volcanoes such as Mt. Shinmoedake and the crater lake of Onami. The trails going up are quite long and steep. I'd recommend 150 minutes to go up and down for experienced climbers and 5 hours for beginners.

    (Translated by Google) I always said, "I'm just concerned." It's "only for Karakuni". Climb while on a business trip. It was less than 7 kilometers round trip from the Ebino Kogen parking lot, and it took 3 hours. It's empty and great for slowly climbing. On the way, there is a place where sulfur gas is blowing out, and there is a great hissing sound. There is also a rocky place, and you can enjoy it like rock climbing. There are no vending machines along the way. Of course there are no toilets. Next time I want to climb when it's sunny. (Original) ずっと「かんこくだけ」と言ってました。 「からくにだけ」なんですね。出張のついでに登頂。えびの高原駐車場から往復7キロ弱、3時間でした。空いてて、ゆっくり登るのに最高です。途中、硫黄ガスが噴き出しているところがあり、すごいシューシュー音がしてます。岩場もあり、ロッククライミングみたいで楽しめます。途中に自動販売機などは一つもありません。トイレももちろんありません。次回は晴れてる時に登りたいです。

    Bring good shoes, a camera, and plenty of water for this totally worthwhile rocky hike to mesmerizing views that’ll please any volcano lover. From the summit see 4 crater lakes, a bunch of neighboring volcanoes, fumaroles, several towns, and even Sakurajima floating in the bay far below. Absolutely a stunning way to satisfy the lust for volcanism and all its characteristics.

    (Translated by Google) I climbed Mt.Takachiho on the previous day. There is no steep slope at the end like Takachihomine, so I thought Mt. Karakunidake was easier for a beginner like myself to climb. The view of Onami Pond from above was very beautiful, but the way from the top to the Ebino Kogen Parking Lot was longer than I thought. Next time I felt that it would be good to go back and forth to the summit (Original) 前日の高千穂峰に続き登りました。高千穂峰のような最後の急な斜面もなく、韓国岳のほうが自分のような初心者には登りやすいなと思いました。 上から見る大浪池はすごくキレイでしたが、頂上から別ルートで、池の周りを時計回りに一周回って戻るえびの高原駐車場までの道のりは思いのほか長く、、、いい運動にはなったものの、次は頂上との往復で良いかなという感じでした

    登山経験なくても2時間位で登れる感じです。天気と目が良ければ霧島の連山や薩摩半島、開聞岳まで見わたせますがさすがに韓国までは難しいでしょう。えびの高原登山口にトイレやレストハウスや足湯があり家族連れや憂愁の方でも楽しそう、駐車場は料金が車の種類分けでかかります

    (Translated by Google) Several mountain trails are maintained near the prefectural road connecting Kobayashi City in Miyazaki Prefecture and Kirishima City in Kagoshima Prefecture. The most common route is from Ebino Kogen, where parking lots and visitor centers are available. The view to the south from the summit is outstanding, and you can see the mountains of the Kirishima mountain range and the sacred Takachiho peak, as well as Sakurajima and Mt. Takakuma in Kagoshima Bay in the distance. Also, the route from the summit of Mt. Karakunidake to Mt. Shishido, Mt. Shinmoedake, and Mt. Nakadake to Takachiho Kawara is also popular as a traverse route[8]. On Mt. Karakuni, there is the Mt. Karakuni Minami Evacuation Hut, which was established by Kagoshima Prefecture in 1996 as part of a natural park maintenance project[9]. (Original) 宮崎県小林市と鹿児島県霧島市を結ぶ県道付近からいくつかの登山道が整備されている。駐車場やビジターセンターの充実しているえびの高原からのルートがもっとも一般的である。山頂から南方の眺望は抜群で、霧島山系の山々や霊峰高千穂峰を展望でき、遠くは鹿児島湾の桜島や高隈山も眺望できる。また、韓国岳の山頂から、獅子戸岳、新燃岳、中岳と縦走して高千穂河原へと降りるルートも縦走路として人気が高い[8]。 韓国岳には1996年(平成8年)に鹿児島県が自然公園等整備事業で設置した「韓国岳南避難小屋」がある[9]。

    鹿児島は最も高い山で、高さは1700m以上あり、頂上までは徒歩3時間以上かかります。 山の頂上に近づくほど、道路は危険になります。 山の頂上にいると景色がとても綺麗になります! 忘れられない経験でした

    (Translated by Google) Gas got so bad from the top of the evacuation shed that I couldn't see anything from the top of the mountain. The bottom was sunny and the scenery was nice. .. .. I want to challenge again. (Original) 避難小屋の上辺りからガスがひどくなって山頂からは何も見えませんでした。下は晴れてて景色良かったのに。。。 またチャレンジしたいです。

    (Translated by Google) The trail is well maintained, so you don't have to worry about getting lost. The view anyway. It makes me want to climb again. Even though it's a weekday, climbers, kindergarten? There is also a group of children, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful. However, there are many dangerous places near the mouth of the river where you can slide down at any time. (Original) 登山道もきれいに整備されており、迷う心配がない。 とにかくビュー。また登ってみたいと思わせられる。 平日なのに登山客、幼稚園?のお子ちゃま団体もいて、全体的に和やかな雰囲気。但し河口付近はいつでも滑落できるような危険個所も多い。

    (Translated by Google) I wanted to climb mountains in Kyushu, so I took on the challenge for 4 days and 3 nights. If the weather was bad, I thought I'd take it easy around Kagoshima Central, but I'm glad it's been sunny. I climbed from Ebino Kogen, but it was snowing due to the cold weather just before, so I climbed with chain spikes. It was quite a steep climb, but I was able to climb without getting bored because there are many variations such as the volcanic plumes of Mt. Iodake. The wind is strong near the top of the mountain, so it is good to have windbreak equipment such as a wind shell or rainwear. There was also snow in the direction of Onami Pond, but the stairs leading down to the mountain trail were more frozen than the area around the pond, making it more dangerous. Do not force yourself up. (Original) 九州の山を登りたいと思い、3泊4日でチャレンジしました。もし天候が悪かったら鹿児島中央あたりでゆっくりしようと思っていましたが、晴れが続いて良かったです。 えびの高原から登りましたが、直前の寒波の影響か雪が積もっており、チェーンスパイクをつけて登りました。 なかなか急登坂でしたが、硫黄岳の噴煙など変化に富んでいるため、飽きずに登れました。 山頂付近は風が強く、ウィンドシェルかレインウェアなど、防風装備があると良いです。 大浪池方面も雪がありましたが、池周辺よりも登山道まで下る階段が凍結していて危険です。無理に上らないようにしましょう。

    天氣好時絕對值得來爬一趟,從登山口大約1.5小時登頂,眺望大浪池超美。不過部份路段偏原始,若下過雨就不建議來。

    歩きやすい道、何合目とかの看板があるので、目安になってよい。 ミヤマキリシマがとても綺麗に咲いている。 頂上は、絶壁。動画で伝わるかな? これはちょっと怖い、滑落注意。
