Overview

Uncover the spiritual heart and breathtaking landscapes of Kyushu on this unforgettable full-day tour.

Begin your journey at Kamishiromi Kumanoza Shrine, a sacred site known for its elegant wooden architecture and tranquil forest surroundings. Learn about ancient Shinto traditions as you take part in time-honored rituals that honor the local deities.

Continue to Amano Iwato Shrine, deeply tied to Japanese mythology and the legendary sun goddess Amaterasu. Stroll through its peaceful grounds and hear fascinating tales from your guide about the cave where Amaterasu is said to have hidden, plunging the world into darkness.

The adventure culminates at Takachiho Gorge, one of Japan’s most stunning natural wonders. Marvel at towering basalt cliffs carved by the Gokase River, admire the shimmering emerald waters, and get up close to the graceful Minainotaki Falls on a scenic boat ride or riverside walk.
