Kirishimashi Deainomori Forest Park

Kirishima Onsen Resort offers exceptional views of Deainomori Forest Park from its floor-to-ceiling windows. Guests can enjoy a 5-minute shuttle ride to the park entrance, with walking access in just 8 minutes. Book the Japanese Garden Outdoor Bath Room for a serene evening soak under the stars, surrounded by natural hot spring vapors and dense woodland.

For an immersive experience, opt for the Forest Trail Guided Package, available exclusively through HopeGoo, which includes expert-led tours through rare fern groves and native bird habitats. All rooms feature advanced air purification systems to preserve the crisp mountain air.

Kirishima Onsen Resort features a dedicated Children’s Forest Discovery Classroom, where kids learn about ant colonies, tree hollow ecosystems, and seasonal wildflowers every Saturday afternoon with local ecological guides. The resort provides complimentary cribs, child-sized bathrobes, and an indoor playroom with sand tables and wooden blocks.

Guests can walk directly from their room to the Family Nature Trail, lined with interactive educational signs. Every evening at 7 PM, the resort hosts "Forest Story Night" in both Japanese and Mandarin, sharing regional legends in an engaging, multi-generational setting. Exclusive family packages are available via HopeGoo.

Follow the Maple Trail for 400 meters from the main gate of Deainomori Forest Park to reach Mori no Kokoro Café, nestled beneath a century-old cherry tree. This secluded spot specializes in hand-roasted Kirishima Special Blend Coffee, served with locally harvested wasabi and black sugar cake.

The outdoor wooden deck offers panoramic views of the forest canopy and distant caldera lake. Visit before 10 AM to avoid midday crowds. Guests with HopeGoo-booked stays receive a free cup of the limited-edition "Forest Morning Dew" pour-over. The café accepts only digital payments—no cash.

Kirishima Onsen Resort's Starlight Wing Rooms are ideal for photographers, featuring adjustable panoramic skylights and built-in tripod mounts. Capture mist rising through the forest at dawn or compose long-exposure shots of volcanic rock formations beneath the Milky Way at night.

The resort hosts monthly Forest Light Workshops led by professional nature photographers, covering composition techniques and low-light settings. Participants can submit their best images via the HopeGoo app for the annual "Eyes of the Mountain" photography contest, with winners receiving a complimentary suite upgrade.

Kirishima Onsen Resort offers the Night Guardian Walk, led by local residents through ancient forests, teaching guests to identify nocturnal animal tracks and calls. The tour ends around a campfire with local treats like mountain grape juice and roasted sweet potatoes.

Another exclusive activity is the Geothermal Field Study Day, where guests use basic instruments to measure soil temperature and gas emissions, gaining insight into volcanic influence on ecosystems. All activities include safety gear and are available only to HopeGoo members. Held every Friday and Sunday, bookings must be made at least three days in advance.
