A Must-Visit in Miyazaki! Takachiho Gorge Will Make You Say "Wow"!

Honestly, standing on the bridge at Takachiho Gorge and looking down, you can't help but exclaim "Wow"! The deep blue water of the gorge paired with the waterfall is stunning. If you're lucky with the weather, you might even see a rainbow arching through the waterfall, making it look like a painting. I booked a boat ride on the official website two weeks in advance. While waiting, I laughed at others getting stuck on the rocks, only to find myself spinning in circles when it was my turn. In the end, another boat had to give me a push to get me back on track—both hilarious and embarrassing! There's a flowing somen (noodle) experience at the entrance, but unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to try it. I did grab some dango (sweet dumplings), which were delicious! This place is definitely a must-visit spot on any Kyushu itinerary. The breathtaking natural beauty here is truly awe-inspiring!

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
