Located in Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture, Amaniwado Shrine has a story called "The Legend of Amaniwado". According to legend, Amaterasu, who symbolizes the sun, was so enraged by his younger brother's actions that he hid in a cave and could not come out, and the world became dark as a result. The gods met on the beach outside the Tianyan Cave, and the beautiful girls danced to amuse the gods. The sound of laughter spread into the cave, so that the God of Amaterasu couldn't help but open the door of the cave and stick his head out. . As a result, the gods had arranged for the Hercules outside the door for a day to make a decisive decision and pull out the Great God of Amaterasu. Since then, the earth has regained its light. Amano-Iwato Shrine was built near the cave where the legendary god Amaterasu hid, and the main hall of the shrine was built in the cave opposite the Iwado River. There is a solemn and sacred atmosphere everywhere in Amaniwato Shrine. People who come to worship here will pile up stone pagodas on the ground to pray.

One of my favorite areas and attractions in Kitakyushu. The whole Aso area is beautiful. We were lucky enough to see horses in Kusasenri and go to the crater. It might be the off-season, but there were not many people in the view restaurant. You can sit as you like. It's so friendly. I want to bring my kids back in the summer to see the green scenery. I highly recommend Aso! You can also go to Kurokawa Onsen, which is great.

Takachiho Gorge is a natural wonder formed from the remnants of a volcanic eruption, with its unique rock pillars forming a distinctive landscape left behind by the eruption. Every corner of Takachiho Gorge is filled with the charm of nature; from the V-shaped river channels and the rock formations to the waterfalls, everything showcases the awe-inspiring power of nature.

We recommend parent-child tours of Aso Farm Park I don't know if it's because it hasn't recovered after the epidemic or what, I can't see more than 50 people for 3 days and 2 nights. It's a good walk for such a large farm🤩 In addition to kissing the animals, there are many children inside Indoor facilities, adults can also cheap spa, worth coming again!

What is very famous is that the trees here are very famous, there are the Father Cedar Tree and the Husband and Wife Tree, both of which are sacred trees over a hundred years old. The tour guide will explain to the guests how to enter the shrine and how to pray, so that people can have a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and etiquette.

Even in the cloudy winter, it was still beautiful. When I first arrived in Aso, I thought Aso was a little small, but once I got here, I found a different Aso, so open. If I had time to wait for half an hour, the clouds would have dissipated, and the Aso Five Mountains would be right in front of me, and the rural village would be surrounded and protected by the mountains. It was so comfortable to walk and run in the grass. From the observatory, I found a trail going down all the way. I guess I can hike down the mountain from here. I walked in all directions and found several similar trails going down the mountain. I must come and experience it next time and enjoy the scenery from different heights and angles. It should be more beautiful in the summer when the grass is green.
