2.Takachiho Gorge & Scenic Railway One Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 178 reviews · from $44Best value

Travel from Fukuoka into Miyazaki for Takachiho Gorge, Manai Waterfall, Amano Yasugawara, and a 30-minute vintage train ride. A Chinese or English-speaking guide handles the long bus journey, but you pay extra for the boat, train ticket, meals, and insurance. Expect steps, a brisk schedule, and seasonal itinerary changes.

“Daisy made the day, an insightful and very memorable experience! The trip was well planned and executed! It was a great way to see nature and explore places you wouldn’t find on your own. Daisy also gave great recommendations for the city that sadly, I wasn’t able to use because I was leaving.”
