Takachiho Gorge is a steep-sided gorge located in Miyazaki Prefecture, formed by the erosion of pyroclastic flows from the eruption of Mount Aso by the Gokase River. The gorge features cliffs approximately 80 to 100 metres high stretching for about 7 kilometres and has been designated as a national “Place of Scenic Beauty” and “Natural Monument.” The gorge is home to “Mana-i Falls,” selected as one of Japan's Hundred Famous Waterfalls, and features stunning columnar jointed cliffs. Visitors can explore the area via walking trails or private boats, immersing themselves in the mystical scenery and the raw power of nature.
