Takachiho Gorge

 

The narrow chasm cut through the rock by the Gokase River. The nearly sheer cliffs lining 

the gorge are made of slow forming volcanic basalt columns which resemble the scales of

a dragon where the stone twisted and flowed as it formed. There are two perspectives from

which to enjoy the gorge. The first is from below which is done by rowing down the river.

Rental boats are available at the south end of the gorge, and the water is calm and easy to

navigate.

up view of the cliffs and waterfall. 

 


 


 


 

Takachiho Gorge boat riding

The most recommended activity at Takachiho Gorge is riding the river that flows down the

base of the gorge on a rental boat. The spot you can see waterfalls and the columnar shaped

valley together is rare in the world. Please enjoy this amazing view from the boat.
