Kawakamikyo Gorge
"Also called the ""Arashiyama of Kyushu,"" legend says the Shinto deity Yodohime likes this place. Riverside Park Kawakami with its beautiful cherry trees on the upper reaches of the river is a good place to relax. From April to early May colorful carp banners wave there, and in August there's a firework display and they float paper lanterns on the river."
