Things to do in Nishi-Usuki District

Find and book activities, attractions and tours

Three months ago there was a major earthquake which hit Kumamoto. Takachiho Gorge is in Kumamoto prefecture. I was scheduled to arrive some 2 weeks later but had to postpone trip till now coz many roads were damaged. Currently some part of this gorge is still closed. The boat rowing below also closed as water is too high I was told. Still, it's been a place I had wanted to see for many years and am happy to finally made it and hence marked the completion of my tour of all the 47 prefectures of Japan! Hurray!!! Without the boats and people in the water, it is a little difficult to appreciate how big the gorge is! May be next time! #endlesssummer

It’s a view from the castle ruins in the upper part of the mountain in Takeda-shi, Oita. I see the Kuju mountains in beautiful shape.
