Takachiho Gorge
Takachiho Gorge consists of cliffs eroded by pyroclastic flows (dense, fast-moving flows of solidified lava pieces) from Mount Aso and is designated as a National Scenic Beauty and National Natural Monument. At its highest point, which is more than 100 meters, sits the beautiful Manaino Falls (Manai Big Falls), which showcases the overflow of a nearby river. The waterfall is recognized as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan.

Takachiho Gorge offers beautiful natural scenery throughout the year. From spring to early summer, mountain cherry blossoms, azaleas and wisteria decorate the cliffs. Autumn brings brilliant color changes to the scenic foliage, and winter snows and ice embellish the gorge’s natural beauty. At nearby Takachiho Shrine, visitors can watch the Night Kagura, a traditional performance that tells stories about the most famous deities in Japanese mythology. The Night Kagura can be enjoyed any time of the year.
