Takachiho Gorge is a stunning natural wonder located in Kyushu Island, Japan. It's formed by the Gokase River and features tall walls of volcanic rock and lovely waterfalls, like the stunning Minainotaki Waterfall. One of the most popular activities to do here is to go on a boat ride to explore the narrow chasm up close. Takachiho Gorge boat rental is available near the southern end of the gorge, so you can paddle under the towering cliffs and waterfalls. If you prefer to stay on land, a scenic paved path runs along the gorge with lots of lookout spots. Another fantastic place to visit is the Takachiho Shrine. Here, you can learn about local myths and watch the traditional Takachiho Kagura dance. So why wait? Whether you plan a day trip or a longer stay, Takachiho Gorge offers a breathtaking escape into nature that you shouldn't miss on your trip to Japan!

The itinerary was very well organized and the attractions visited were well worth seeing. There was also a free ice cream! The tour guide Thomas explained in detail and was very knowledgeable. The CP value suggestions he gave were very considerate. I like it.

It is very suitable for people who are too lazy to plan their itinerary. The stairs to climb during the entire trip are almost all downhill. The trip is comfortable and not too tiring. The scenery is beautiful and the Miyazaki beef is delicious.

I'm Japanese, but I participated! According to the guide, I was the first Japanese person to participate. The guide was fluent in Japanese, Chinese, and English, and was very kind and fun to talk to! I would definitely like to use him again if I have the opportunity to do another tour! Also, the journey there and back was very comfortable, and I'm very grateful to the driver for his pleasant driving. Thank you for a fun and safe tour!

If you are traveling independently and don’t have a self-driving car but want to visit various scenic spots in Kyushu in a short time, you can choose this itinerary. The tour guide Kevin does his best to control the itinerary time for everyone. He will introduce relevant attraction information to you in Chinese, English and Japanese. I give Kevin a five-star rating, but the itinerary spans three counties and it takes a long time to drive. As adults, you can consider this

The driver was a young man who was a very enthusiastic and helpful tour guide. We had not originally booked to go to Robatayaki, but the man specially discussed it with the store. In the end, he decided to try it early. He was very careful and attentive during the entire journey to take us to various scenic spots. Thank you bro

My tour guide name is Kevin Yang. He is very nice and knowledgeable. Will let us know in advance on how the trip will be like. Texted me a day earlier as well so don’t have to worry! I travel with a 2 year old and at Takachiho gorge steps, my family was unable to carry my son up as we are very very tired. Kevin took in the effort to help us carry him. Lucky for us we got to sit the 11am train too! Kevin did say that we might not be able to get it but we did! he rushed to buy it and told us to quickly get down. Love the efficiency and his patience attitude. Would recommend tour guide Kevin Yang! The place we travel to is worth going maybe at least once. it’s really far but nice experience.

If you don’t know how to travel by car, joining a one-day tour is a good choice! The tour guide Kevin is funny and responsible, and his explanations are detailed and expressed in multiple languages!

​Happy ending to the one-day tour in Takachiho without any brains. Thanks to Thomas (Mr. Zheng) for the tips along the way. A tour leader who can't take photos is not a good tour leader. Thanks to Thomas for sharing the private photos, which can be posted on WeChat Moments.
