Takachiho, Mountain town in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan
Takachiho Gorge features volcanic cliffs formed by Mount Aso eruptions, with the 17-meter Manai Falls cascading into emerald waters below.
The town became part of the Nobeoka Domain during the Tokugawa period, with arsenopyrite mines supporting economic growth until their closure in 1962.
The Takachiho Shrine presents nightly yokagura performances, consisting of traditional theatrical rituals that honor various Japanese deities throughout the year.
Travelers reach Takachiho by taking a train to Nobeoka Station followed by a bus connection, with car rentals available for local transportation.
The Kunimigaoka platform provides views of a natural phenomenon where clouds gather below the observation point, creating a white sea effect.
