About This Design

Takachiho Gorge Japan Travel Postcard

Takachiho Gorge Japan Travel Postcard

Takachiho Gorge, located in Miyazaki Prefecture on Japan’s southern island of Kyushu, is a stunning natural wonder famed for its dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear river, and deep ties to Japanese mythology. The gorge was formed by the cooling and erosion of lava from Mount Aso, leaving behind sheer volcanic basalt walls that rise sharply above the emerald waters of the Gokase River. The narrow passageway of the gorge, with its striking columnar rock formations and lush greenery, creates a scene of almost surreal beauty. Visitors can experience its magic by renting rowboats to paddle beneath the iconic Manai Falls—a graceful 17-metre waterfall that tumbles from the cliffs into the river below. In addition to its natural splendour, Takachiho Gorge holds a special place in Japan’s cultural heritage. The area is steeped in Shinto legend and is considered one of the settings for the myth of the sun goddess Amaterasu, who is said to have hidden in a nearby cave, plunging the world into darkness until she was enticed out. The surrounding town of Takachiho preserves this spiritual legacy through ancient shrines like Takachiho Shrine and through evening Kagura dance performances, which reenact these myths. Together, the gorge’s breathtaking landscape and mythological significance make it a deeply memorable destination for nature lovers and cultural explorers alike.

Such a huge range of different frogs available, which made my choices very difficult and now the reason I have a whole draw full of cards and postcards! Much better quality than you can buy in the shops and they are exactly on the subject I love and adore too.
