Takachiho’s shrines are why the gorge feels sacred rather than just scenic. Takachiho Shrine, a short walk from the gorge, has a pair of cedars joined at the root, and couples walk around them three times hand in hand.
Take a long but rewarding day trip from Fukuoka to Takachiho Gorge, its waterfall boat ride, a mountain railway and sacred sites.
