Takachiho Amaterasu Railway

**Super cart ride:** Each cart holds 2 people (driver + passenger). The 'driver' controls speed with a lever (max speed limited to 15km/h) and honks the horn. The track runs through forest canopy and crosses bridges with valley views below. The experience is more novelty than scenic, but unique — you're driving on tracks that once carried regular trains. **Combination with Takachiho Gorge:** The railway station is 15-min drive from Takachiho Gorge. Ideal itinerary: Gorge + rowboat (morning, 2 hours) → Railway ride (afternoon, 1 hour). Both are Takachiho's main attractions and easily combined in one day. **Photography:** The most photogenic moment is when your cart crosses the Iwato River Bridge — a steel truss bridge 100 meters long, 50 meters above the river. Passenger should handle camera as driver must focus on controls.
