Walking around the World Agricultural heritage site

Walking around Takachiho Town and Shiiba Mountain area in the north of Miyazaki Prefecture, which has been certified as a world heritage site.

Footpaths are a tradition originating from the UK, where you go on walks, enjoying unspoiled landscapes in the countryside. Interest has also been growing in Japan, and course development is now progressing all over the country. 

In this event, we will go on a walking course of about 3 miles with a guide who was born and raised in the area. Let’s enjoy the spring in the countryside, having leisurely conversations. We will have a footpath lunch with plenty of local ingredients, or at the farm restaurant! Let’s spend time together while sharing delicious food.

The event will be held from 24^th March to 22^nd April, on eight Saturdays and Sundays. If interested, you can easily register through the form on the bottom of this page.
