What to expect

Embark on a journey from Fukuoka, beginning with the lantern-lit Shimo-Semenomikoto Shrine in Aso, Kumamoto. This fantasy-inspired shrine, famed for its Tenburen Rock, is steeped in manga culture and honours deities. Visitors gather here to absorb the natural energy of the rock and pay homage to the sacred Nagi tree, a symbol of love and prosperity that draws wish-seekers from afar.

The adventure continues at Ten'yuanawara in Miyazaki, home to the renowned Amanoiwato Shrine. Known for its rock-stacking rituals, this sanctuary is steeped in myth and serves as a beacon for spiritual healing and good fortune. It plays a central role in the tale of Amaterasu, marking the return of light to the world following her emergence from a cave.

Next, explore the ancient volcanic wonder of Takachiho Gorge. Here, the majestic Nomi Waterfall graces the landscape, offering serenity and historical intrigue. Stroll along the promenade, taking in the historical bridges that span across the gorge, each representing a different era and providing a glimpse into the region's past.

Uncover the legend behind the Rock of Oni's Strength, where it is said the mighty Oni was subdued. This colossal boulder, adorned with a monumental shimenawa rope, stands as a testament to nature's power. Finally, behold the majestic "Byosen no Byoubu Iwa," a 70-metre rock face that rises like a guardian. Its columnar joints resemble an immortal's screen, creating a spectacle shaped by the hands of time.
