From the Tenson Korin trailhead on the northern side of Mount Takachiho in Takaharu, Miyazaki, this return climbs steeply through forest and up volcanic ash slopes to the 1,574 m summit, where the god Ninigi is said to have descended from heaven. The legendary heavenly spear Ama-no-sakahoko stands on the top, the Kirishima range opens up from about 1,200 m, and the summit looks down on Lake Miike and Miyakonojo to distant Sakurajima.
