Activity itinerary

Takachiho Gorge
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Carved by volcanic forces over tens of thousands of years, Takachiho Gorge is one of Japan’s most breathtaking natural landscapes, tucked into the mountains of northern Miyazaki Prefecture on Kyushu Island. This spectacular canyon features soaring columnar basalt cliffs rising about 80–100 m above the emerald waters of the Gokase River, creating a dramatic backdrop that changes with each season — vibrant greens in spring and summer, fiery reds and golds in autumn, and peaceful misty hues in winter.
Takachiho Shrine
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Takachiho Shrine – Sacred Heart of Japanese Mythology Hidden among towering cedar trees in the mountain town of Takachiho, Takachiho Shrine (Takachiho-jinja) is one of Kyushu’s most spiritually significant Shinto shrines. With a history spanning over 1,900 years, the shrine is deeply connected to Japanese mythology and the legendary descent of the gods to earth. The shrine’s peaceful grounds feature ancient cedar trees, including a famous 1,200-year-old “husband and wife” cedar, believed to bring good relationships, harmony, and blessings to those who walk around it hand in hand. The atmosphere is calm and reverent, offering a quiet contrast to the dramatic scenery of nearby Takachiho Gorge.
Mt. Aso
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Mount Aso – One of the World’s Largest Active Volcanoes Located in the heart of Kyushu, Mount Aso is one of Japan’s most powerful natural landmarks and home to one of the largest volcanic calderas in the world. Surrounded by sweeping grasslands and rugged peaks, the Aso region offers a rare chance to experience the raw beauty of an active volcano up close. At the center lies Nakadake Crater, where visitors can observe steaming vents, dramatic rock formations, and — when conditions allow — the striking emerald-colored crater lake. The ever-changing volcanic activity makes every visit unique, offering an unforgettable glimpse into the forces that shaped Japan’s landscape. Despite its immense power, Mount Aso is also a place of quiet beauty and balance, where traditional villages, grazing cattle, and open plains coexist with volcanic energy. Whether you’re drawn by nature, geology, or epic scenery, Mount Aso delivers a truly iconic Kyushu experience.
