Scenic Takachiho Gorge

A recent visit at Takachiho Gorge even though is after rain but the views is still beautiful. This gorge located in Miyazaki Prefecture and highly to put in your Kyushu itinerary. The gorge is formed by columnar jointing, the result of the rapid cooling of an ancient lava flow. The view of the gorge from a boat directly up the 17-meter Manai Falls is truly thrilling. However, due to high water after rain, all boat ride are cancelled. #takachihogorge

Takachiho Gorge

Takachiho is an absolute nature playground in Miyazaki — think dramatic gorges, crystal-clear boat rides, and mountain vibes that seriously deliver 🍃🤩. Whether you're chasing waterfalls or legends, this place has both. Must-See Takachiho Spots: Takachiho Gorge 🛶 (Mukoyama, Takachiho, Nishiusuki District, Miyazaki 882-1103; Open 08:30-17:00) — Get ready for some jaw-dropping canyon scenery! Rent a rowboat and float under volcanic cliffs, with waterfalls raining down nearby. Go early for fewer crowds and dreamy morning mist. Hiking trails along the gorge are an easy win, especially in fall when leaves are popping with color. Amaterasu Railway 🚂 — Hop on this unique local train for cute bubble shows and epic mountain views. If cloudy or rainy, don’t stress—the mist makes the scenery feel mystical! Have your camera ready for all the quick photo stops. Amanoiwato Shrine 🌄 (1073-1 Iwato, Takachiho; Open 24/7) — Legendary Japanese mythology comes to life here. Take the forest stroll down to the sacred cave and riverside; super peaceful, even when it’s busy. Eats & Practical Tips: Lunch at Amaterasu Restaurant (1082-12 Iwato, Takachiho) — Try the local chicken, and don’t skip sweet potato snacks for hiking fuel. Transport Hack: Local buses link the main sites, but taxis make the most of your time if you're short on hours. Rental scooters = next-level flexibility, especially for those cheeky views. Pack rain gear just in case — Takachiho weather loves to surprise! Cash is better for small eateries & admission spots. #TakachihoTrip #JapanNature #TravelHacks #GorgeViews #JapanFood
