[Miyazaki] A relaxing walk surrounded by rivers and forests - A walk to Amanoyasugawara

#0YenTravel2025Autumn The path to Amano Iwato is not just a shrine approach, but a relaxing stroll where you can enjoy nature itself. The path runs along the clear river, the sound of the stream soothing to the ears. The path is surrounded by forest, with sunlight filtering through the trees and a cool breeze blowing through, creating a soothing atmosphere. Every step brings a sense of unity with the rhythm of nature. While this is the path to the setting of myth, it is also a time to fully appreciate the beauty of nature. The walk itself is a major attraction, as a "path to calm the mind" before experiencing the mysteries of the cave. 📍 Access Information ・Address: 1073-1 Iwato, Takachiho-cho, Nishiusuki-gun, Miyazaki Prefecture (Amanoiwato Shrine Nishi-Hongu) ・Nearest Station: Approximately 10 minutes by car from Takachiho Bus Center ・Amanoiwato: Approximately 10 minutes on foot from Nishi-Hongu

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

[Miyazaki] Takachiho Gorge 💡Access: Car 💡Tourist Spots: Takachiho Gorge, Amanokahara, Nabegataki \We recommend that you make a reservation in advance for Takachiho Gorge rental boats/ →Reservations open at 9am two weeks before the desired reservation date. We recommend that you make a reservation as soon as reservations open (^^) If you purchase tickets on the day, it says that there are only a few tickets left and the waiting time is about 5 hours (・・;) 💡Meals & Restaurants: Imakin Shokudo \We recommend coming in the evening as the waiting time is short/ The waiting time during peak lunch time is said to be a few hours. I came here around 3pm on my way back from Takachiho Gorge, and the waiting time was about 30 minutes. I wandered around the nearby candy stores and general stores, and it was soon my turn.
