People with poor stamina or knee problems should probably avoid the shrine as it involves a lot of climbing stairs. The Takachiho Gorge is also worth visiting, but the scenery is absolutely stunning, and every corner is perfect for taking photos. Be sure to eat breakfast early or bring your own food on the bus! The bus ride is incredibly long! Three hours! The mountain roads can easily cause motion sickness, so I recommend sitting by the window; the scenery along the way is truly worth enjoying. Lunch is delicious, but the amount of meat is only suitable for those with small appetites.
Driver Mr. Jiang was very friendly and polite, and very patient with the children! Changing routes was no problem at all; he was very helpful in arranging the route and time. Thank you so much for your service!
