A coach is the practical way into Takachiho for most visitors, since there’s no railway into town anymore and local buses are thin. The bus routes bundle the gorge with Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu, and some throw in snacks or Japanese sweets for the long ride.
Travel from Fukuoka to Takachiho Gorge, Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine and Amano Iwato on a guided Kyushu day trip.

Ride beneath Takachiho Gorge’s cliffs, then take in Kusasenri and Mount Aso on a long, scenic day trip from Fukuoka.
★ 4.6“Our tour guide, Emily, explained everything very well, and Takachiho Gorge is beautiful and definitely worth visiting. The only downside was that Aso Volcano was closed, so we couldn't see it up close, only its smoke rising from a distance, which was a bit disappointing.”
