- Attraction Introduction -

• Takachiho Gorge, located in Takachiho, at the northern tip of Miyazaki Prefecture, is widely known as the setting for ancient Japanese mythology. Within the Ama-Iwato Shrine in Takachiho Village lies a rock-built cave, said to be the dwelling place of the angry god from the "Ama-Iwato Legend," which describes the world falling into darkness. Every night, Takachiho Shrine hosts a Yakagura performance, offering songs and dances to the gods to pray for bountiful harvests, making it a mythological village that inherits the worldview of ancient mythology. Here lies Takachiho Gorge, designated a National Scenic Spot.
