Takachiho Gorge Tour

Takachiho Gorge is a must see Kyushu location, but it is not easy to get to. This tour is a great solution, taking you on a scenic route through the Aso caldera to Takachiho Gorge. Arriving in the morning you can enjoy the gorge at its quietest and most scenic time of day. Take a guided walk, have the chance to go boating and enjoy some local dishes for lunch. In the afternoon we head to a beautiful mountain viewpoint, and visit a mythologically sacred shrine and cave.

Takachiho Gorge Tour information

My husband and I joined Explore Kumamoto on a day trip to Takachiho Gorge. It was a wonderful and memorable experience for us. The autumn view of the gorge is marvellous. Most importantly, Helen did a great job of explaining the myths and culture behind the things we saw. She was also responsive to my emails and requests prior to the trip. The day trip really maximized our time spent there. It was a great experience.
