Step into one of Kyushu’s sacred ‘power spots’ by exploring Amano Iwato Shrine in Takachiho, a shrine dedicated to sun goddess Amaterasu. ☀️ Here, the resident priest can guide you to the cave Amano Yasukawara, marked by a torii gate and thousands of neat piles of rocks left by pilgrims from across the centuries.

TOP TIP: Don’t miss visiting Takachiho Gorge, where you can row through some of the most spectacular scenery in Japan.
