Takachiho counts as off the map for most visitors to Japan, which is why it keeps turning up here: a narrow gorge, a cave shrine and none of the Kyoto crowds outside holiday weeks. Itoshima, just west of Fukuoka, is the closer escape, with beach cafés and winter oyster huts.
Travel from Fukuoka to Takachiho Gorge, Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine and Amano Iwato on a guided Kyushu day trip.
