Takachiho Town is a magical place nestled in the mountains of Miyazaki Prefecture on Japan’s southern island of Kyushu. Known for its breathtaking natural beauty, Takachiho is steeped in mythology and is often considered the spiritual heart of Japan. The town is most famous for Takachiho Gorge, where towering cliffs of volcanic basalt are split by the crystal-clear Gokase River, creating one of the most stunning natural landscapes in the country.
Beyond its scenic beauty, Takachiho is rich in cultural heritage. It is the legendary site where the sun goddess Amaterasu is said to have hidden in a cave, bringing darkness to the world, according to Japanese mythology. Visitors can experience traditional Yokagura dances that reenact these ancient myths, providing a deep connection to Japan’s spiritual roots.
Takachiho offers a serene lifestyle surrounded by nature, with terraced rice fields, waterfalls, and mountain trails. The town is a haven for those seeking tranquility and a connection to Japan’s storied past while enjoying the pristine environment of rural Miyazaki.
