Set in Takachiho, within 800 metres of Takachiho Shrine and 1.9 km of Takachiho Gorge Freshwater Fish Aquarium, Solest Takachiho Hotel offers accommodation with a restaurant and free WiFi throughout...

Every aspect of this accommodation was impressive. The facade is very modern ad was reflected in the dining area, lobby, accommodation floors and the rooms themselves. Nature abounds in the surrounds of this picturesque town. Within walking distance to Takachiho Jinja and the Kagura performance. Best to drive to the gorge from here.

Guest House Iwato, hotel in Takachiho

Offering quiet street views, Guest House Iwato is an accommodation located in Takachiho, 7.4 km from Takachiho Shrine and 8.5 km from Takachiho Gorge Freshwater Fish Aquarium.

The photos on booking.com don't do this place justice. The house is super clean and the bathroom looks brand new. Very warm and homely feeling. The staff was so polite and helpful. She even gave us a house tour and was smiling all the time. She even called a nearby restaurant to help us make a booking for dinner. Very good value for money.

Ryokan Shinsen, hotel in Takachiho

A 5-minute drive from the spectacular Takachiho Gorge, Ryokan Shinsen offers rooms with a Japanese-style decor and free Wi-Fi, some of which have open-air baths.

I appreciated the staff offering me help. They kept my luggage before and after my time, so I could explore the town well. I arrived by bus + foot, and they gave me a ride to the bus station on my return. They dressed me in Yukata(summer kimono) and were ready to chauffeur me to an outdoor evening show, but I declined and enjoyed my bath in my backyard. Whereas usual Ryokan serves food in your room, this place has two food serving areas, and they walked me to different rooms for dinner and breakfast. I liked the nice garden views from two different locations.

    Takachiho is about 1 hrs. 20 minutes drive from Kumamoto...

    Takachiho is about 1 hrs. 20 minutes drive from Kumamoto Airport and is easy to reach in a rental car. The scenery en route is amazing! The Gorge is stunning but not very long. The rowing boat trip is relatively expensive, ¥5100 for 30 minutes for a max of 3 people, but it is great fun with wonderful photo opportunities! You can walk some of the way along the river but part of the path is still damaged. There are several nice shrines in the area, one of which does nightly Kagura dance performances (1 hour for ¥1000). We stayed 2 nights in a lovely Ryokan at the end of our holiday and it was a great way to finiour trip to Japan.

    A hiker's dream. Lots of trails, stairs, nature, waterfalls.

    A hiker's dream. Lots of trails, stairs, nature, waterfalls. The rice terraces' views are amazing. Farm animals. My kids and I loved it all. The boating on the Gorge was a great fun experience!

    Takachiho is an absolutely beautiful place!

    Takachiho is an absolutely beautiful place! The gorge was one of the most incredible places I have ever been in my life and I will definitely be returning one day with my family. I cannot recommend this place enough. The locals were so friendly! Literally everyone I spoke to was so kind and helpful, when I panicked and got myself lost they were so wonderful. Even kids walking home from school said hi as they passed me! The only catch is that if you’re flying into Kumamoto Airport, there is only one bus that will take you to Takachiho and it’s over two hours to travel and only comes twice a day. You have to be very organised because if you miss that bus, it’s not easy to get there if you aren’t renting a car. While you’re in the area, you should also check out Iwato Shrine and the Amaterasu Railway. The railway is a great way to get a better view of the valley from above -so long as you have a head for heights! Overall, I would say seeing Takachiho is a must if you’re visiting Japan!

    Ryokan Shinsen was absolutely AMAZING!

    Ryokan Shinsen was absolutely AMAZING! Everything from communication before through our stay was exceptional. The food was the best we have had in Japan (we have lived here 2 and a half years). The service was top notch and the private onsen was wonderful. Highly recommend.

    Highly recommending the nature trail walk from Manai falls...

    Highly recommending the nature trail walk from Manai falls to Takachiho Shrine. It offers better view than boating ard the waterfall. If time allows, do go to Amanoiwato Shrine - the view at Amano Yasukawara is awesome. If you eat beef, lunch at Nagomi is one of the best option!

    A small town, but filled with culture and beautiful nature.

    A small town, but filled with culture and beautiful nature. I really enjoyed the shrine and getting some omamori as gifts. The gorge was beautiful, but unfortunately the water was a little muddy when we went, and we couldn't ride the row boats due to high tide. Despite this, it was a great stay and I would want to come back to see it during Autumn season as I heard its really beautiful.

    Wow! I'm always looking for unique, one-of-a-kind stays and this one made for a stunning experience. Kind owner, gorgeous views, fresh mountain air mixed with the scent of tatami, super spacious interior that made me feel right at home. If you're looking for a sterile, bland apartment rental, perhaps this isn't for you, but if you want something different, something authentic, you'll love it. My favourite stay on my Kyushu trip!

    This was the best ryokan we've ever stayed in Japan! Not only it was exceptionally clean and located in a very quiet neighborhood, but there were also rooms with private bathrooms, which is quite rare to find! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Takachiho gorge is only 10 minutes away, there's a direct road to it just around the corner of the hotel. If you get lucky enough you might even see an owl at night!

    read in previous reviews that the hotel staff could walk guests to the evening show at 8pm. when we asked them if they could do so, they said no. the hotel is surrounded by funeral parlours and saw empty houses so it would have been nice if they offered to walk us as there are no street lamps. we eventually did not go for the show even tho we bought the tickets . we also saw a big cockroach in the bathroom.

    Great place to stay in Takachiho. We arrived much later than anticipated due to the roads to Takachiho, but the owner went out of her way so we would be able to check in and get to shower and eat before the doors closed down. The place has multiple restaurants and bars around, and a gas station. Convenience stores are pretty far, so don't count on those unless you are willing to drive for a few minutes.

    We loved the location, it's really close to the Takachiho Gorge and the Takachiho Shrine where you can watch a Kagura performance each evening. The room was nice and clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was pretty simple but included in the price so that was great too. All in all we had a really nice time there and I'd definitely choose the same location again if I were to go once more.

    This is a great hotel! It is located in the center of Takachiho, so everything was within about 30 minutes walking distance from the hotel. The facilities were nice and clean, but the best feature was the staff. The staff were very helpful, the recommended restaurants and even took pictures of my friend and I when we checked out.

    The location is great which is around 15mins walking from the Takachiho tourist centre, and it only takes few minutes walking to Takachiho Gorge. The staff shows excellent hospitality in answering my questions about visiting Takachiho. I will definitely come back and live here again!

    This is an EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT ryokan. We stayed in a villa that had a private onsen bath, heated floors, manicured Japanese garden and all amenities. The meals were excellent. The staff was great. This is truly a first class ryokan that I would highly recommend to everyone.

    Absolutely massive private tatami room. Free parking, and in a pretty good location. We left our car at the hostel, easy walking distance to restaurants. Maybe 20ish minutes to the Takachiho Shrine, and another 10-15 to get down to the gorge.
