Even though it was a Chinese guide only trip, the guide made an effort to speak English and explained itinerary in details for us in English. Unfortunately boat rental at Tachiho Gore was closed what was a real pity.

The Miyazaki beef lunch was delicious and the portions were generous! It rained a little during the trip. Although the trail was slippery, the atmosphere was great~

It was a great experience. though the travel time was too long but it was all worth it. Takachiho gorge was worth the visit after a long and hot trek. it was a mesmerizing and breathtaking view. if you are a nature lover, you will surely enjoy this. Also, the lunch was good and well prepared. cons: - this tour seemed designed for chinese-speaking tourists. Our tour guide tried her best, but I think a multilingual tour would have made the experience more meaningful. - no enough time to do boat ride. it should have been one of the highlights of our trip.
