From Fukuoka: Takachiho Gorge Manai Falls & Amaterasu Railway and Amanoyasukawara Day Tour (Boat Option)

Depart from Hakata Station and discover
the nature and myths of Takachiho in one day

Meet at 7:50 a.m. in front of Lawson Oriental Hotel Fukuoka by the Chikushi exit of Hakata Station and depart by bus. It takes about 3 hours to Takachiho, and after visiting the gorge, sightseeing railway and shrine in turn, you return to the same place. The guide gives commentary in both English and Chinese.

Walk Takachiho Gorge and Manai Falls

Spend about 1.5 hours at Takachiho Gorge. See Manai Falls, one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls, and walk along the three-generation bridges from the Meiji, Showa and Heisei eras while taking photos. Your guide will point out the best photo spots.

With the boat option, you pass between the gorge cliffs by boat. Each boat holds up to 3 people, so solo travelers share a boat with others. Boat rides may be canceled depending on the river level or weather.

Feel the Showa-era mood on the Amaterasu Railway

Spend about 40 minutes at the Takachiho Amaterasu Railway. Ride the sightseeing train with Showa-era music, enjoy the scenery and take photos. Train tickets are not included in the tour price and are paid on site.

Stack stones at Amanoyasukawara

Spend about 1 hour at Amanoyasukawara, a sacred site linked to the Amano Iwato myth in the Kojiki. Legend says stacking stones makes wishes come true, so the cave is filled with stone towers.

※ The itinerary and time at each stop may change due to traffic, maintenance or other local conditions.
