- About the Attractions | From Fukuoka | Kyushu Miyazaki Day Trip: Takachiho Gorge, Shirakawa Springs, and Amano Iwato Shrine - Explore the Mythological Land -

▲ Shirakawa Springs
The Shirakawa Springs are located in the Shiraki area of Minamiaso Village, nestled between Mount Aso and the Minami-Oreyama Mountains. Known for its massive 60 tons of water per minute, it has been selected as one of the "100 Famous Waters." Maintaining a constant temperature of 14°C, this spring is the source of the Shirakawa River, which flows through central Kumamoto City. Its abundant and delicious water is used by local residents as raw material for their local sake and mineral water, attracting many tourists. The water can be drunk raw, but boiled water is also available for sale on site, and can be taken home in containers.

▲Takachiho Gorge/Manai Falls
Takachiho, the birthplace of Japanese mythology, exudes a mysterious and majestic atmosphere. Its most famous attraction, Manai Falls, is a popular attraction. The waterfall cascades down a cliff face. Alternatively, you can take a leisurely boat trip through the steep gorge, relaxing with the sound of the waterfall plummeting into the water. After enjoying the magnificent scenery, visit the simple and tranquil Takachiho Shrine, where a variety of traditional snacks and souvenirs are sold, and a leisurely stroll through the shrine grounds is a chance to relax and unwind.

▲Ama Iwato Shrine/Ama Yasu River
Ama Iwato Shrine is dedicated to Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess, and is considered the birthplace of Japan's earliest mythology. Legend has it that Amaterasu, the sun goddess, was enraged by her younger brother Susuke, who destroyed her fields, defiled her temple, and killed her servant, the Weaver Girl. Infuriated, she retreated into a cave near Ama Iwato, and the world suddenly lost its light. Troubled by the loss of light, the eight million gods gathered at Ama Yasu River for a meeting. Finally, they arranged for the goddess to perform a captivating dance to attract Amaterasu's attention. When Amaterasu peeked out of the cave, they pulled her out, and light returned to the world.
