— What You Can Expect —

Explore the spiritual secrets of Miyazaki in Kyushu and embark on a fascinating journey blending natural wonders with mythical legends.

This itinerary takes you to some of Japan’s most spiritually powerful destinations.

The first stop is Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine, known for its dreamy forest stone steps. Resembling a scene from a Studio Ghibli film, it is serene and sacred, bringing peace to the soul. Next, visit the Amanoiwato Shrine and Amanoyasukawara, key settings in Japanese mythology. Legend has it that the sun goddess Amaterasu once hid in a cave here, plunging the world into darkness. The gods held a divine meeting in this sacred place to bring her back, creating an awe-inspiring spiritual atmosphere.

In the afternoon, head to Takachiho Gorge, one of Kyushu’s most famous natural landmarks. Towering cliffs and clear streams create breathtaking scenery. Guests may opt to ride a small boat beneath the waterfalls for a close encounter with nature’s grandeur (optional activity at extra cost).

This itinerary is perfect for travelers who appreciate Japanese culture, history, shrines, and natural beauty, offering a full immersion deep into the mystical charm of Kyushu

Note: The itinerary sequence may be adjusted due to traffic, weather, or crowd conditions. Thank you for your understanding.


[Important Notes for Takachiho Gorge Boating]

  1. During peak season, the facilities at Takachiho Gorge may require us to change the order of visits, leading to more variables.
  2. The time spent at Takachiho Gorge is limited. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the gorge, and with the 30-minute boating experience, it is difficult to provide exact return time at the meeting point.
  3. Even during the off-season, we cannot guarantee that we will arrive at the gorge on time according to the guest's reservation.

※Please note that once this boating activity is booked, it is non-refundable. Guests who are willing to bear the risk can make their own reservations.※
