Hot Spring Specialties

Kirishima tea, nurtured by the blessings of nature
Kirishima, the land where the heavenly grandson descended, is blessed with the breath of the mountains and pure water. It is also cool, with moderate temperature differences, and morning and evening mist blocks Nikko, making it an ideal place for growing green tea. Full-scale cultivation of Kirishima tea is said to date back to the early Edo period. It is characterized by a slightly strong astringency, a moderately deep sweetness and richness, and a slightly light aroma. Kirishima is known for being the place where Sakamoto Ryoma traveled with his wife Oryo, and it is said that the two of them took a break and drank Kirishima tea during their journey.
