Expect a long day: Takachiho is three hours or more from Fukuoka, and most full-day tours add Aso to make the drive pay. Get to the gorge first if you can; the path along the rim is quietest in the morning.
See Aso’s volcanic country, Kusasenri grassland and Takachiho Gorge on a long day trip from Fukuoka, with an optional rowboat ride.
