Takachiho Gorge is located on the island of Kyushu (the southernmost main island of Japan), Takachiho Gorge is quite a popular attraction even on weekdays - so be sure to get there early - at least vor 10 clock. There is a nice walking path overlooking the clear waters of the Gokase River. The gorge has steep walls that ~ are of hexagonal basalt columns by rapid cooling of lava. (Similar polygonal common patterns in Iceland, northern Israel and at Devils Tower / USA are found.
There is also an option to hire a rowing boat for 30 minutes (¥ 2000, which approximately $ 16 USD is and additional ¥ 300 for every 10 minutes late return, Note that the boat can only fit 3 people). If you do not get early to a rowboat you may rent only for 60-90 minutes for your train waiting.
In 30 minutes you can make it, to the waterfall (Manai Falls - a beautiful 17 meter high waterfall) to get stay there for a bit for great photos and line back in time
There. Several shrines near Kunimigaoka, Takachiho and Amanoiwato Shrine
a live camera of Takachiho Gorge is available (click here for the live feed) just like in Jigokudani (snow monkey park). - I think live cameras are a big thing in Japan ... # Note : it may be too dark to see anything - take under consideration the JST ( J apan S tandard T IME) is UTC / GMT 9 hours).
