Ebino Plateau
Ebino Plateau (えびの高原 ''ebinokōgen'', lit. “Plateau of Shrimp”) is a basin within the Mount Kirishima mountain ranges, situated in southern Kyushu, Japan. It is surrounded by the Mount Shiratori (白鳥山 ''shiratoriayama''), Mount Karakuni (韓国岳 ''karakunidake''), Mount Ebino (蝦野岳 ''ebinodake'') and Mount Koshiki (甑岳 ''koshikidake'') mountain peaks.
== Environment ==
A field of susuki grass (miscanthus sinensis) is located on the volcanic alluvial fan of the north-western slope of Mount Karakuni, and blooms red in autumn. The occurrence of the characteristic red hue is the result of a number of factors. Sulfur dioxide being emitted from the nearby Mount Io (硫黄山 ''iōzan'') is oxidized to form diluted sulfuric acid, which is absorbed through the soil into the plant and used as anthocyanins. Other factors include the plateau's high level of rainfall, the temperature decrease in autumn, and strong ultraviolet rays.〔荒木徳蔵 『宮崎の植物あれこれ』 宮日文化情報センター、2008年〕
Forestry in the surrounding hills comprises trees such as the Japanese red pine (pinus densiflora). The area is known for its beauty, and has been selected as one of Japan's "100 Forest Therapy" forests (森林浴の森100選).〔『森林浴の森100選―見直したい日本の「美」』 主婦の友社、2010年4月、4頁。ISBN 4072720690。〕 A protected species of crab apple known as 'nokaidou' (ノカイドウ, malus spontanea) is exclusively native the Ebino Plateau region. Other alpine vegetation found in the region includes clusters of Kyushu azalea (rhododendron kiusianum), dwarf abelia (abelia serrata), false lily-of-the-valley (maianthemum dilatatum), and the perennial plant species schizocodon soldanelloides.
Local fauna include wild boar (sus scrofa) and the Kyushu sika deer (cervus nippon nippon). The autumn mating call of the male deer was selected as one of the "100 Soundscapes of Japan" (日本の音風景100選).
