Kyushu Immersion: Trails, Rails & Myths – One-Day Adventure

⏰ **Departure Time**: 8:00 AM | *Please arrive 10 mins early*
**Meeting Point**: Lawson Fukuoka Oriental Hotel (Hakata Station Chikushi Exit)


✨ **4 Must-Experience Highlights in One Day**:
1. **Takachiho Gorge: Nature’s Masterpiece**
Cruise the 4km gorge (optional boat ride, extra cost), feel the mist from Manai Waterfall, and marvel at the Three Eras Bridge and Thousand-Man Cliff—every landscape steeped in ancient myths.

2. **Time-Traveling Retro Train Journey**
Board a vintage red carriage and glide through rice fields and cherry blossom paths (seasonal). Cross the iconic Crescent Moon Bridge to Showa-era melodies!
*Note: Not operational on the 3rd Thursday of each month & select dates.*

3. **Amano Yasugawara Shrine: Where Myths Come to Life**
Stack stones for wishes at the "Plain of Heaven"—legend says taller towers reach the gods faster! Visit Amano Iwato Shrine, the sacred home of the sun goddess Amaterasu, and trace the roots of Japanese mythology.

- Comfortable shoes for gorge hikes
- Fully charged camera (you’ll thank us later!)
- An appetite for adventure and local flavors!
