Takachiho Gorge, with the 17 m Manai Falls and rowing boats booked online from two weeks ahead, and Takachiho Shrine, where kagura is performed every night from 20:00 for ¥1,000, are on the town side; Amano Iwato Shrine and Amano Yasukawara are in the Iwato district, about 15 minutes by car.

The Takachiho-go express bus from Kumamoto and the route bus from Nobeoka stop at Takachiho Bus Center, and six of the inns and hotels listed are within 10 minutes of it on foot. Others are a short drive out, in Oshikata near Kunimigaoka, or in Iwato.
