Takachiho Gorge is narrow and short, roughly a kilometre of path along the rim, so it isn’t a hike. The walls are columnar basalt, and the view everyone wants is Manai Falls pouring in from the side, seen from a boat or the bridge above.
See Aso’s volcanic country, Kusasenri grassland and Takachiho Gorge on a long day trip from Fukuoka, with an optional rowboat ride.
