[Takachiho, Miyazaki Prefecture] How to book a boat ride in Takachiho!

When you visit Takachiho, the two must-ride rides are! Takachiho Gorge boat ride🚣 and Amaterasu Railway🚃 But these tickets are extremely selective! This time, I'll be sharing tips on how to get the best deals on each! This time, I'll be covering the boat ride🚣 You can make reservations for the boat ride! Reservations start at 9 AM two weeks in advance! You have to be sure to access the ride at this time to get tickets😭 They're so popular they sell out instantly! This is where I made the mistake! I forgot to make a reservation and accessed the ride at noon, and they were sold out... They often sell out even on weekdays! 🌟Here's some good news! Takachiho boat rides require prepayment with a credit card when you make a reservation! You can cancel the Takachiho boat ride free up until 9 AM two days in advance, and cancellations after that are non-refundable! 🌟Because of this, it seems that some people cancel at the last minute, so if you access the ride before 9 AM two days in advance, you'll miraculously find that a few slots are still available! (When I checked, about 7 spots suddenly opened up! I checked every day until the day before, but there were no vacancies!) This may depend on the day and luck, so please use it as a reference only! ⚠️If you can't get a reservation, same-day tickets are available, but only on weekdays! However, even on weekdays, there is a 3-4 hour wait for same-day tickets, so try your best to reserve one if possible! (At 9:30 on a weekday, there were still 30 of the 50 same-day tickets available.) In the next post, I'll be sharing my strategy for getting tickets for the Amaterasu Railway! If you want to ride both the Amaterasu Railway and the Takachiho Gorge, the order in which you get your tickets is important, so be sure to check out the next post! 💰4100 yen Up to 3 adults per boat! ⏰30 minutes Excess fees apply after 30 minutes! #JapanTravel #TakachihoGorge
