Takachiho is where Japanese myth puts the sun goddess Amaterasu’s hiding cave, and the town takes the story seriously. Stay a night if you can; the yokagura dances at Takachiho Shrine run every evening at eight, and day tours miss them.
See Aso’s volcanic country, Kusasenri grassland and Takachiho Gorge on a long day trip from Fukuoka, with an optional rowboat ride.
