TAKACHIHO GORGE: Land of Beauty, Land of Myth
Takachiho is located in northern Miyazaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, southern Japan. It is a village of myths, known for Yokagura, traditional sacred music, and dancing. The Gokase River flows from the west to the southeast part of town. Here you’ll find Takachiho Gorge, a natural wonderland, beautiful anytime of year. Formed by lava that flowed along the Gokase River, the gorge, formed 100,000 years ago, features dramatic, steep, sculpted sides which slope down to magnificent turquoise colored water into which numerous sparkling waterfalls empty.
