Takachiho Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

📍 Takachiho Gorge, Japan 🇯🇵

Takachiho Gorge is a narrow chasm cut through the rock by the Gokase River. The nearly sheer cliffs lining the gorge are made of volcanic basalt columns which resemble the scales of a dragon where the stone twisted and flowed as it formed. Partway along the gorge is the 17 meter high Minainotaki waterfall cascading down to the river below, and it is truly impressive to see the waterfall against a backdrop of dense green foliage and the surrounding grey cliffs. There are two perspectives from which to enjoy the gorge. The first is from below which is done by rowing down the river. Rental boats are available at the south end of the gorge, and the water is calm and easy to navigate. This highly recommended route offers a close up view of the cliffs and waterfall. The second perspective, from above, is done by walking the paved path that runs along the edge of the gorge. There are beautiful views all along the way and at some points on the trail you can look practically straight down to the river below. The trail continues for about one kilometer, eventually leading to the Takachiho Shrine. There are a few other things to see and do around the southern end of the gorge including a freshwater aquarium, a stocked fishing pond and a few restaurants and souvenir shops. The gorge is illuminated during the summer months until 22:00. The Takachiho Gorge is located just outside the town center, about a 30-40 minute walk from the Takachiho Bus Center. Alternatively, the gorge can be accessed by rental bicycle or taxi. #placetosee #stunningbeach #londontrip #beachparty #boracaytrip #bangkoktrip #beijingtrip #tokyotrip #shenzhentrip #sanyatrip #newyortrip ¹#hangzhoutrip #beachlovers #topbeach #placetovisit #bestbeach #travel #perfectbeach #localescapes #singaporetrip #helloautumn #triptravelguide #triptravel #beachvacation #hotelstaycation

Enjoy with colourful hot springs 🌸

#2023travelwish I had the experience of travelling to Beppu. Beppu is famous for its onsen (hot springs). Rather than bathing, there are hot springs for viewing also. And each one is formed different way and has different properties. There are 7 hot springs known as ‘Hells of beppu’. If you have time, it is recommended to visit each of them. There are also foot baths for the feet in these places. It is a great way to relax and it is recommended to take towels for your feet with you. At the same time , some places give towels to visitors. Note: You don’t have to visit all of them. However, you have to pay the entrance fee for each of them. If you buy a packet , you can pay 2000 yen (15$) one time and can visit 7 hot springs. You can take the ticket from ticketing place at the entrance of any hot spring place. As you can see with photos, this view is amazing and it deserves to be visited.

Colourful Hot Springs in Beppu

In the city of Beppu of Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, there are steaming hot springs which they call hells for viewing that are popular with tourists. Their unique appearances make the hot springs spectacular. Beppu is the second largest producer of geothermal water in the world. The different types of hell are derived from the different types of water. Umi Jigoku, or Sea Hell in Japanese, is named for its vibrant cobalt blue waters surrounded by a small Japanese garden. The blue colour is the result of sunlight hitting the water surface. The water is so hot that clouds of steam constantly obscure its surface. Another hot spring that is interesting is the Chinoike Jigoku or Blood Pond Hell, named after the vibrant red colour of the steaming hot pond due to the iron in the water. There is also a free foot bath for visitors who are tired from all the walking which comes from natural hot spring waters. This foot bath is truly a lifesaver to sit down and relax. In addition, they also sell food items boiled using the spring waters such as eggs. #fallingforfall #tripblazers

Hotel with one of the best sea view

#hotelreview #Beppu This is the Hoshino resorts Kai Beppu hotel situation in Beppu, Oita prefecture, Kyushu region. It is only a ten minutes walk from JR Beppu station. Luxury is the only word that can describe this hotel. When we checked in, they did the procedures in our room itself! Not to mention the spectacular view from our hotel room! Also the kaiseki dinner and breakfast were fantastic. Don’t worry if you have any allergies, they will try their best to substitute the dishes for you. Really thoughtful!

Japan's TOP hot spring town, traditional Japanese accommodation experience!

Oita Prefecture's Beppu was the last stop on our Kyushu trip. Despite the rain, we enjoyed a rare immersive traditional hot spring journey during our brief overnight stay at this hotel. 👉🏻Hoshino Resorts KAI Beppu ⭕Oita Prefecture is truly Japan's number one hot spring prefecture, leading by a large margin in the number of hot springs. Beppu is a representative of this, where the entire city is shrouded in the magical sight of steaming hot spring mists, and it's said that you haven't really been to Beppu if you haven't experienced the hot springs. ⭕The hotel is designed in a traditional Japanese style, extensively using wood and bamboo decorations, full of traditional feel. The public area is restored to the appearance of past hot spring streets. At night, when the lights are on, playing traditional games, if you get hungry, you can cook a bowl of hellishly spicy ramen, taste hot spring eggs, Usuki pancakes, giving a sense of time travel back to the past. ⭕What is astonishing is that each of the 70 rooms in the hotel is a sea-view room! The magnificent view of Beppu Bay is unobstructed. The rooms are decorated in a 'persimmon color', which is calm and classic, inspired by the color of the Blood Pond Hell hot spring, one of Beppu's eight major hells. ⭕It's not just the hot springs, the hotel's meals are also a supreme enjoyment. The kaiseki cuisine is full of ceremonial sense, Ise lobster sashimi, Wagyu shabu-shabu, Oita Prefecture's special citrus... It's just too delicious! ⭕Each KAI has 'local pleasure' activities, and in KAI Beppu, there is a special performance. The 'Yutogi Pot Band' plays cheerful rhythms with various hot spring pots and hot spring water, quite lively. ⭕As a Japanese hot spring ryokan brand under the Hoshino Resorts group, 'KAI' is located in various hot spring resorts throughout Japan, each with its own characteristics, and is very worth experiencing! 📍Address: 2-14-29 Kitahama, Beppu
