- Takachiho Gorge: a spectacular and powerful spot -
Takachiho Gorge is home to the famous Manai Falls, which is designated as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan.
In ancient times, pyroclastic flows erupted from volcanic activity on Mount Aso cooled and solidified, creating a canyon with towering cliffs that were eroded away. The cliffs, 100m high at their highest and 80m on average, stretch for about 7km from east to west.
*At Takachiho Gorge, we will walk through the valley from the bus parking lot to Manai Falls (about 1 km, including a slope, about 30 minutes). Please wear comfortable walking shoes.
*Due to the length of our stay, we are unable to board the boat.
