Takachiho Train Tour

This time I took my family on this trip, and I'd like to share my experiences and precautions. 1. Check the train schedule and buy tickets in advance. Tickets cost 2,000 yen per adult when we went on September 2025. 2. There are two carriages, and the best seats are at the front and rear of each carriage. This allows for less contortion when taking photos. The seats are two rows facing each other, so there's not much space. 3. There's a simple magical stage light show as you pass through the cave. 4. At the bottom, the train stops on a bridge, where the conductor sprays bubbles for everyone to take photos. Please adjust your seat and avoid other people's heads in the photo. 5. It was sunny that day, so there was no rain, but we did see a sign prohibiting umbrellas on the train, so please check. 6. The train runs in both directions, and there are conductors at both the front and rear. Besides driving, they also act as bubble makers and allow guests to take photos. 7. The train runs from start to finish, approximately 30-40 minutes. 8. Because attractions have time limits, it's recommended to plan your itinerary for the train at the beginning. Later, it's easier to plan your itinerary for attractions with open hours.

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
