As of July 7th, 2025, while Mt. Shinmoedake is currently showing volcanic activity, Seiryu-so remains fully operational, with no impact on our hot springs or services. We are located about 7 km from the crater, in the Maruo Onsen area.

Kirishima Shrine (6 km from the volcano) is also open as usual.

There may be occasional ash fall depending on wind direction, but sightseeing and hotel facilities remain unaffected.

Please note: entry restrictions apply only within 3 km of the crater, and some roads toward Ebino Kogen are currently under traffic control.

Also, the Tokara Islands—where recent earthquakes have occurred—are about 295 km away, farther than both Kagoshima City and Fukuoka (approx. 250 km).

We are closely monitoring official information and prioritizing guest safety. Please feel free to visit Kirishima with peace of mind.

Please check the local government announcements for the latest information.
