Ryokan Shinsen, hotel in Takachiho

A 5-minute drive from the spectacular Takachiho Gorge, Ryokan Shinsen offers rooms with a Japanese-style decor and free Wi-Fi, some of which have open-air baths.

Beautiful establishment. The staff were very kind. We arrived late to the hotel but they made sure we were on time for the theater performance down the road. Every detail about the hotel was perfect, from the moment you arrived to the departure. They did not offer a Western style breakfast, which was the only downside of our experience there. It has a very local vibe to it.

    Takachiho is about 1 hrs. 20 minutes drive from Kumamoto...

    Takachiho is about 1 hrs. 20 minutes drive from Kumamoto Airport and is easy to reach in a rental car. The scenery en route is amazing! The Gorge is stunning but not very long. The rowing boat trip is relatively expensive, ¥5100 for 30 minutes for a max of 3 people, but it is great fun with wonderful photo opportunities! You can walk some of the way along the river but part of the path is still damaged. There are several nice shrines in the area, one of which does nightly Kagura dance performances (1 hour for ¥1000). We stayed 2 nights in a lovely Ryokan at the end of our holiday and it was a great way to finiour trip to Japan.

    A hiker's dream. Lots of trails, stairs, nature, waterfalls.

    A hiker's dream. Lots of trails, stairs, nature, waterfalls. The rice terraces' views are amazing. Farm animals. My kids and I loved it all. The boating on the Gorge was a great fun experience!

    Takachiho is an absolutely beautiful place!

    Takachiho is an absolutely beautiful place! The gorge was one of the most incredible places I have ever been in my life and I will definitely be returning one day with my family. I cannot recommend this place enough. The locals were so friendly! Literally everyone I spoke to was so kind and helpful, when I panicked and got myself lost they were so wonderful. Even kids walking home from school said hi as they passed me! The only catch is that if you’re flying into Kumamoto Airport, there is only one bus that will take you to Takachiho and it’s over two hours to travel and only comes twice a day. You have to be very organised because if you miss that bus, it’s not easy to get there if you aren’t renting a car. While you’re in the area, you should also check out Iwato Shrine and the Amaterasu Railway. The railway is a great way to get a better view of the valley from above -so long as you have a head for heights! Overall, I would say seeing Takachiho is a must if you’re visiting Japan!

    Ryokan Shinsen was absolutely AMAZING!

    Ryokan Shinsen was absolutely AMAZING! Everything from communication before through our stay was exceptional. The food was the best we have had in Japan (we have lived here 2 and a half years). The service was top notch and the private onsen was wonderful. Highly recommend.

    Highly recommending the nature trail walk from Manai falls...

    Highly recommending the nature trail walk from Manai falls to Takachiho Shrine. It offers better view than boating ard the waterfall. If time allows, do go to Amanoiwato Shrine - the view at Amano Yasukawara is awesome. If you eat beef, lunch at Nagomi is one of the best option!

    A small town, but filled with culture and beautiful nature.

    A small town, but filled with culture and beautiful nature. I really enjoyed the shrine and getting some omamori as gifts. The gorge was beautiful, but unfortunately the water was a little muddy when we went, and we couldn't ride the row boats due to high tide. Despite this, it was a great stay and I would want to come back to see it during Autumn season as I heard its really beautiful.

    We came to Takachiho to visit the famous gorge and when looking at accommodation, there were little around. Ryokan Shinsen was definitely more on the pricer side, however having stayed the 2 nights, I would be more than keen to stay here again. The facilities and rooms were immaculate. The service was excellent, very attentive. Breakfast and dinner were included in the stay and it's definitely an experience. There is plenty of parking if you're planning on driving and close to tourist attractions.

    It is a newer hotel in the small town near Takachiho Gorge. Because of the central location, we were able to go to Kunimigaoka Viewing Platform for sunrise in the early morning. It is only 5 mins drive from Takachiho Gorge. We arrived at the Gorge before most visitor and enjoyed the scenery. Breakfast is tasty with food variety.

    Five star traditional Japanese breakfast, which was amazing! This was followed by a five star traditional Japanese dinner, which was even more amazing! The staff was exceptional, always attentive to the needs of my 90 y/o mother. The facility was beautiful and peaceful, with very tasteful art and gardens.

    Absolutely massive private tatami room. Free parking, and in a pretty good location. We left our car at the hostel, easy walking distance to restaurants. Maybe 20ish minutes to the Takachiho Shrine, and another 10-15 to get down to the gorge.
