Takachiho Gorge is in Kumamoto prefecture. I was scheduled to arrive some 2 weeks later but had to postpone trip till now coz many roads were damaged. Currently some part of this gorge is still closed. The boat rowing below also closed as water is too high I was told. Still, it's been a place I had wanted to see for many years and am happy to finally made it and hence marked the completion of my tour of all the 47 prefectures of Japan! Hurray!!! Without the boats and people in the water, it is a little difficult to appreciate how big the gorge is! May be next time! #endlesssummer](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975698496/f1b3e305-af34-4faf-9757-5a47950c969d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![a beautiful place to go](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975698496/6636a363-78d7-4aaf-bca2-e59b12f48079.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Takachiho Gorge (高千穂峡, Takachiho-kyō) is a narrow chasm cut through the rock by the Gokase River. Volcanic basalt columns line the sheer cliffs of the gorge, originally as a result of Mt. Aso’s eruption and further shaped through time by the flowing river, creating interesting shapes and patterns. . The 17-meter Manai Falls is probably the highlight of the tour, as it cascades into the river below and along with the gorge and the bridge makes for a very picturesque location. Normally, boat rides are offered to visitors but during the day of our visit it was temporarily stopped due to the high waters brought about by the recent typhoon.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975698496/a035d767-b5cd-4bd0-961d-bde6471a6127.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Takachiho Gorge Activities [Takachiho travel guide](https://expedia.co.uk/Takachiho.dx6152546) --- --- ### Popular places to visit ![石段参道「日本最古の神社パワースポット幣立神宮（へいたてじんぐう）」 Stone Steps Approach "Japan's Oldest Shrine Power Spot Heitate Jingu" 日本(秋) Japan](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532763063/ad947418-c370-4983-9d15-c74152e64fea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Heitate Jingu After visiting Heitate Jingu, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Yamato.
