Takachiho Gorge DAY TRIP itinerary – easy walks & waterfalls in Miyazaki, Kyushu, Japan πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ ι«˜εƒη©‚ε³‘

When traveling around Kyushu prefectures such as Kumamoto or Oita, a day trip stop at Takachiho Gorge (ι«˜εƒη©‚ε³‘, Takachiho-kyō) is a must. We’ll show you how you can visit for as little as an hour or two, complete with easy walks and waterfalls.

Plus, while renting a rowboat is a popular activity, there are plenty of ways to enjoy this area without one.

Takachiho Gorge is in a northwestern rural part of Miyazaki Prefecture. It’s a worthwhile detour when traveling between Kumamoto or Oita prefectures on Japan’s southern main island of Kyushu.

Our family of four stopped by in a rental car when we were relocating from a month stay in Kumamoto to a month stay in Oita City.

In as little as an hour, you can savor Takachiho Gorge while continuing your Japan adventures. Watch the video to see how we enjoyed Takachiho Gorge, and get ideas for your own visit.

  1. That was beautiful scenery in this video. I would probably forego the cost of the boat vue also. It looked like you could see the falls ok from the land. Keep having fun. If I was there, I would be gorging food.Cheers!! Illinois, USA
