[2025 Kikuchi Attraction] Travel Guide for Kikuchi Gorge (Updated Jul)

Kikuchi Valley in Kumamoto Prefecture. This year, I've visited many natural scenic spots, including Iya Valley in Tokushima and Oirase Gorge in Aomori. Kikuchi Valley is a popular spot in the summer because it's cool, but the autumn leaves were beautiful in the fall. The biking course was quite steep and had some hills, but I was soothed by the beautiful waterfalls and autumn leaves at times. #Autumn leaves #Outdoor

If you go to Kumamoto, you should definitely go here. I'm looking forward to autumn and summer.

October is the autumn leaf season in Japan🇯🇵🫶🏻🫶🏻 Unfortunately, we arrived a little early so I couldn't see it However, if you come to Fukuoka I highly recommend one of the places you can go is Kikuchi Creek Valley🫡 It's really beautiful when the red leaves🍁 are in bloom🥰 Kikuchi Valley is selected in many Japanese 🗾 local 100 choices such as 100 choices valley, 100 famous water, 100 deep forest bathing, etc. 🙆🏻 ♀️ If the deep road tour, you have to walk here 😎 Because the road is relatively wet and slippery so we'd better wear flat shoes safer!! ️ My place because it started from Fukuoka for a self-drive tour🙈 I went there by the way before getting to Kumamoto!! ️ About an hour or so from Kumamoto city The whole route is about 4 kilometers🙊 so it is enough to walk about 1 medium or so in advance😬 First of all, there is a restaurant at the entrance of Kikuchi Creek Valley🍴 so it can solve the problem of toilets and food😄 and the decoration is very neat To enter, you have to buy tickets 🎫 300 yen per person 🫶🏻 The price is definitely not expensive 🤭 Streams originating from Mount Aso Volcano🌋 Mountains will be gathered in the Kikuchi Valley😬 So they form the Kikuchi River!! ️ You can see that the water in the valley is particularly clear 🤣 is a typical feature of river water in high-altitude secret areas 🙆🏻 ♀️ and another major feature is that there are almost no active volcanic chemicals in the water 🤔 In fact, the birthplace of the Kikuchi River is talking about 800 meters above sea level🫡 Very close to the northwest ridge of Mount Aso Crater😎 Because the source will actually be the slope outside the crater, so it is higher than the bottom of the crater🤭 The river is not affected by the chemicals of active volcanoes🤪 Created the famous pure soft water of Kikuchi Valley🤩 My favorite here must be its hanging curtain waterfall🫡 gives people a very healing feeling😎 It has a height of 20 meters🤩 is the largest waterfall in the Kikuchi Creek Valley🫶🏻 It is under a bridge near the Creek Valley Visitor Center 😝 It's easy to get to And under the right conditions it will also appear rainbow!! ️ The whole landscape makes it even more 😎 is a must-visit place #Fukuoka itinerary #parent-child holiday #parent-child holiday #global travel #japanese cuisine #japan travel #japan attractions #japan travel guide #japan summer travel #parent-child holiday #parent daily #couple daily
