Top Resorts in Nishi-Usuki District in 2026

Three months ago there was a major earthquake which hit Kumamoto. Takachiho Gorge is in Kumamoto prefecture. I was scheduled to arrive some 2 weeks later but had to postpone trip till now coz many roads were damaged.

Currently some part of this gorge is still closed. The boat rowing below also closed as water is too high I was told. Still, it's been a place I had wanted to see for many years and am happy to finally made it and hence marked the completion of my tour of all the 47 prefectures of Japan! Hurray!!!

Without the boats and people in the water, it is a little difficult to appreciate how big the gorge is! May be next time!

Top Nishi-Usuki District Hotel Reviews

Hotel Grateful Takachiho

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel within walking distance to Takachiho Bus Centre"

Kujukogen Ginga no Yado Kinoko IIseigo

10/10 Excellent

" > We had a great stay here while traveling with my wife and son. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming. We arrived on New Year’s Eve and couldn’t find any restaurants open, but the owner helped us by drawing a handwritten map and explaining everything clearly — it was really thoughtful. > > The room was clean, tidy, and very comfortable, with a classic Western–Japanese style. One of the highlights was the observatory. The owner gave us a tour and showed us the planets, which was absolutely amazing and something our family will never forget. > > Highly recommended!"
