Iya Valley Vine Bridge
Listed as an important tangible folk cultural property of Japan and Tokushima Prefecture, "Iya Kudzu Bridge", also known as "vine bridge", is 45 meters long, 2 meters wide and 15 meters high. It is woven from kudzu. When the bridge swayed, it was extremely thrilling. According to legend, the Hei clan who lost in the war hid in the Iya River. In order to escape the pursuit of Genji, they built a suspension bridge made of Ge that could cut off the path of the pursuers at any time. For safety reasons, the vines will be replaced every three years for tourists to visit and watch. The way of crossing the bridge from north to south is one-way. The shaking when walking and the clearly visible stream under the bridge are shocking.Miyoshi · 17 km from downtown
Kotohiragu
The Golden Sword Hira Palace, nicknamed "Kim Biro", is located on the mountainside of Mount Kotohira and is dedicated to the God of God and Emperor Zonde. The long stone steps of the pilgrimage road are very famous, and there are 1368 steps to the inner shrine (Yankun Shrine). Climb to level 365 and you will reach the gate of the "two-story building into the mother house" structure. From the gate is the shrine grounds, and you can take the stone steps to carry the sedan chair like in the Edo period. On both sides of the road before the gate, souvenir shops, restaurants, etc. are lined up, and crutches are also rented out. Going through the gate, there are five confectionary shops "Five Renmin" with umbrellas lined up. It is a historical small shop that was licensed to operate in the shrine grounds due to the merits of the ancestors. Climbing up the stone steps, there are several ruins such as the main hall of the main hall, treasure hall, torii, etc., such as the Asahi Shrine with beautiful carvings on the pillars and gates, and the Shoin, which is decorated with wall paintings of Maruyama Yoshitsu and Ito Jakuchuku. The dots continue one after another, and when you reach level 785, you will arrive at the Palace. After climbing to level 1368, I finally arrived at the office, where I could have a panoramic view of Qinping's street scene. Kinto Hiragu was revered as the god of protection of the sea and the increase of agricultural production. In the Edo period, it was generally believed that it must be visited once in a lifetime, and many people from all over the country visited. At that time, there was even such a custom that people who could not visit the shrine in person would have their puppy go to the shrine on their behalf, and it was called "Kimpiro dog". It is still deeply revered and attracts many pilgrims, especially the New Year's shrine and the "Golden Sword Hira Matsuri", a regular festival in October.Kotohira · 17.6 km from Miyoshi

Oboke Koboke
Obukai and Kobukai are valleys located in the western part of Tokushima Prefecture, on the upper reaches of the Yoshino River. They are valleys created over 200 million years by the erosion of the Yoshino River that traverses the Shikoku Mountains. The contrast between the white rock surface and the bright green clear stream is very beautiful, especially the cherry blossoms in spring, the rhododendrons in early summer, and the red leaves all over the mountains in autumn are very beautiful. In Dabuwei, where huge rocks and strange rocks are continuous and the river is relatively stable, you can take a sightseeing boat to go down the river. 3 kilometers downstream of Obukai is Kobukai. The river is curved and has one of the best rapids in Japan. Here, you can experience white water rafting.Miyoshi · 16.1 km from downtown

What travelers say about Miyoshi
暝逝June 15, 2020
5.0
Iya is located in the middle of Shikoku, which is the most sparsely populated region in Japan. Due to the terrain, many places are not suitable for living. Iya, located in the mountains, is similar to Shennongjia in China. The area is remote and there are many ghost stories. Of course, people like deep mountains, so Iya has a good business relying on the Iya Gorge, Kudzu Bridge, hot springs and other scenic tourism industries. The characteristics of the creek are particularly suitable for the starting point of deep mountain cases in Japanese crime dramas (anime), and it is estimated that many scenes have been filmed there.

It is one of the three most mysterious places in Japan. Usually, the transportation to the mysterious places is not very convenient. The main attractions are Oboke sightseeing boat, Kazura Bridge, and Pissing Monk. Kazura Bridge is one of the three most mysterious bridges in Japan. It is really a thrilling experience. Biwa Falls is also good.
