[Takachiho] A Healing Spot Brimming with Greenery and Negative Ions.

I always wanted to visit Takachiho! The waterfalls flowing into the river, of course, and the surrounding area is full of greenery and so beautiful that it was very healing!! [Tourism Points]---------------------------------- ○ During peak seasons, it is essential to reserve boat tickets in advance → Since I went during Golden Week, it was a complete reservation system. Tickets can be purchased online from 9 a.m. one week prior. ⭐︎ We wanted to get tickets for around 11 a.m., so we accessed the site from two iPhones and one PC about 10 minutes before the start. We kept refreshing the page 30 seconds before, and miraculously, only the PC managed to access and purchase the tickets. The two iPhones couldn't connect at all, and by the time they finally did at 9:10 a.m., almost all tickets were sold out. If you are going during a busy period, I definitely recommend accessing from a PC. ○ The morning is beautiful! → It's always beautiful, but especially in the morning when the light shines through, it looks very pretty. The best time to take a boat ride is in the morning! ○ The area around the boat dock is bustling with stalls, flowing noodles, souvenir shops, and trout fishing, offering many attractions, so it's good to plan for a longer sightseeing time. ○ The Tunnel Station, very close to Takachiho Gorge, was also a nice little detour! You can also sample sake aged in the tunnel. [Caution]---------------------------------- ○ You might get surprisingly wet. → Even if you don't go near the waterfall, you can get wet depending on the wind direction, and you can get splashed with water when rowing the boat. Also, for women, pants are recommended over skirts. My hem got wet because it touched the boat floor. ⭐︎ However, it feels like a mist, so you can feel the negative ions all over your body, and I think it's great, especially in the summer!
