[Miyazaki] The mysterious caves and stone piles of "Amanoyasugawara"

#0YenTravel2025Autumn Amanoyasugawara is located about a 10-minute walk from the west main shrine of Amanoiwato Shrine. This is the legendary location of Japanese mythology, where Amaterasu Omikami hid in a cave and the eight million gods gathered to hold a conference. Entering the large cave, you'll find countless pebbles piled up by worshippers, each with their own wishes. The sight of these quietly piled stones in a space poorly illuminated by light is truly impressive, emanating a mystical atmosphere that is more than just a natural cave. Watching people make wishes as they pile each stone makes you realize that this place is not just a tourist attraction, but a place of prayer. It's a magical place where the world of myth and human faith intersect. 📍 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 ・Amanoyasugawara: Approximately 10 minutes on foot from Nishi-Hongu

[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.
