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!

"Nice view, nice room, nice service, nice food. The hotel is surrounded by very nice environment. The leaves were turning red when I visited, I can imagine how nice it would be when all leaf turns red. The facility is very simple and rustic. I could enjoy and relax in such beautiful environment. The staff was very nice and I felt welcomed. I had trouble with the in-door hotspring and the staff could help fix it and followed through.
