2025 Miyoshi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

Step onto the Iya Vine Bridge in Tokushima Prefecture's Iya Valley, and you'll feel as though you've entered one of Japan's three great hidden regions. This suspension bridge, designated as an Important Tangible Folk Cultural Property, spans 45 meters in length, 2 meters in width, and hangs 14 meters above the Iya River. Constructed from 5 tons of hardy kiwi vines and wood, it is rebuilt every three years to preserve its natural, rustic charm. As I cautiously stepped onto the bridge, the gaps between the wooden planks revealed the crystal-clear river below. The bridge swayed gently with each step, making my heart race, accompanied by the creaking of the planks, as if whispering the ancient tales of the Heike clan who once sought refuge here. This blend of thrill and unease is precisely what makes the adventure so captivating! 😅 Beside the bridge, the Biwa Waterfall flows serenely, surrounded by lush greenery. Each season paints a different picture: wisteria in spring, vibrant green in summer, fiery red leaves in autumn, and pristine snow in winter. The scenery is mesmerizing. Standing in the middle of the bridge, I gazed down at the azure Iya River and the rolling mountains in the distance. The air was so fresh that I couldn't help but take a deep breath. In that moment, far from the clamor of the city, I felt at one with nature, and my mind found peace. 🌄 The Iya Vine Bridge is not just a visual and sensory challenge but also a journey through history. Legend has it that the bridge was originally built by the defeated Heike clan to evade their pursuers. While the story of Kobo Daishi adds a mythical touch, it enhances the mysterious allure of this hidden gem. Crossing this swaying bridge, I felt not only a surge of adrenaline but also a profound respect for the resilience and purity of this land. 💪 Practical Information: Transportation: Take the JR train from Takamatsu to Oboke Station (about 1.5 hours), then transfer to a bus or walk along the road to the bridge entrance (check bus schedules in advance, as weekday services are limited). Address: 162-2 Zentoku, Nishi-Iyayama Village, Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture Admission: Adults 550 yen, Children 350 yen (one-way crossing) Hours: Daily 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (subject to weather conditions) Tips: The gaps between the planks are quite large, so be cautious with your belongings to avoid dropping them. Wear comfortable shoes and walk slowly; it only takes a few minutes to cross. For those who are faint-hearted, you can take photos from the nearby concrete bridge instead!

#2月好地方2025 "Iya" in Tokushima, Shikoku, has always been known as one of the three most secret places in Japan. This time I stayed in a hot spring hotel in Iya Gorge for one night, and the next day I set off for the nearby famous attraction "Oboke Gorge". Does the name sound dangerous? In fact, it is because of the inconvenient transportation in the mountainous areas in the early days, and one had to climb mountains and wade through water, which was dangerous at every step, so it got the name "big steps are dangerous, small steps are also dangerous." Now it seems that it is not dangerous at all, but just a rapid flow in the beautiful canyon. Oboke is a large canyon formed by the rapids of the Yoshino River. It is about 8 kilometers long and is famous for its marble-like rocks and V-shaped canyon landforms. The best way to visit, besides walking, is to take a cruise to experience the rapids of the canyon! No matter which experience you choose, you must wear sunscreen, otherwise there is no shelter in the canyon and you will be baked into a black man! #ShikokuTravel #Tokushima #Oboke

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 On a drizzling April day when cherry blossoms were in full bloom, I visited Oboke in the Shikoku Mountains, a very quiet train station with few people. I crossed the railway and strolled along the Oboke Valley stream. Although it was drizzling, walking on the trail with an umbrella among the blooming cherry blossoms was also a romantic experience. Oboke Gorge, known as one of Japan's three most secret places, is a cliff valley carved by a turbulent river. It retains the beautiful and rugged undeveloped scenery of the cliff canyon and is known as one of the most scenic spots in western Japan. In spring and autumn, the canyon is covered with a sea of ​​pink cherry blossoms and fiery red maple leaves, as beautiful as a painting. The most convenient way to get to Oboke, besides driving or chartering a car, is to take the JR train, where you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. You can also take the Oboke Gorge sightseeing boat down the river and admire the beauty of the turbulent river in the valley. #ShikokuTravel #Tokushima #Oboke

#花花#100 ways to travel While traveling by car in Shikoku, we moved from Okubo Temple in Kagawa Prefecture to Iya Valley in Tokushima Prefecture. Unexpectedly, on the sparsely populated mountain forest trail, I actually spotted a sea of ​​flowers on both sides, and the white and rosy "Yoshino Sakura", golden The bright yellow "jasmine flowers" and the pink and fragrant "magnolias" as big as a bowl, combined with the emerald blue stream, make it look like a fairyland! Cherry blossoms are very common in the Japanese countryside, but this was the first time I saw such a huge and beautiful magnolia in the wild. Magnolia, also known as magnolia, has pink flowers, large and showy, like lotus blooming on a tree, with a faint fragrance. When not blooming, it is oval-shaped and blooms at the same time as cherry blossoms. Although Tokushima Prefecture is very rural, the cherry blossoms are not as blooming as Japan's famous cherry blossom viewing spots. However, there are fewer crowds and it is easier to enjoy the flowers leisurely and take photos. In fact, it is not bad when you think about it. ✓Recommended attractions in Tokushima: Iya Valley, Obuike #ShikokuTravel #Tokushima Prefecture #Iyakoi #大OBOK #Japanese Cherry Blossom #Hanami #100 Ways to Travel #Magnolia #Magnolia

#hotspring #oboke #shikoku #tokushima Oboke Shin-Iya Onsen Hotel Kazurabashi Hot Spring Hotel is located in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. It is a hot spring hotel that combines traditional and modern design. It is famous for its unique natural scenery and high-quality services, providing tourists with an ideal place to relax. The hotel is surrounded by magnificent valleys and clear streams, allowing you to feel the beauty of nature.

The hotel has a dedicated cable car that allows visitors to take the cable car to the open-air bath at the top of the mountain. This open-air bath provides an excellent viewing point, allowing people to enjoy the changing beauty of the four seasons while soaking in the hot spring, especially the red leaves in autumn. 💰Average cost per person: starting from 40,870 yen per night 📍Address: 33-1 Zentoku, Nishi-Iyayama Village, Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture

#hotspring #100 ways to travel In early April when it was drizzling, I visited #IyaOnsen in Tokushima Prefecture, Shikoku, known as one of the three most secret places in Japan, and stayed at a traditional hot spring hotel #IyaHijinnoyu. It is an old hotel hidden in a deep mountain valley, and it seems even more mysterious and hazy on rainy days. Iya Onsen is located at the bottom of the Iya Valley 170 meters below. To take a bath, visitors need to take a cable car and go down a 42-degree cliff. After about 5 minutes, they will reach the Iya Open-Air Bath. Surrounded by lush forests and the sound of gurgling water, it feels like taking a bath in the deep mountains. The Iya Hikyō-no-Yu Hotel consists of two buildings, the main building and the annex, as well as an independent hot spring building, with a significant height difference. The hot spring water is of good quality. There are two pools, indoor and outdoor. The skin is very smooth after soaking. The most basic modern Japanese-style room in the annex has three tatami mats and is approximately 20 square meters. It costs about NT$6,000 for two people with one night and two meals. The food is typical hot spring kaiseki cuisine, the taste is pretty good, and the breakfast is also rich, but the overall building is a bit old, after all, it is an old hotel. Iya Gorge is very beautiful, and even more dreamy during the spring or autumn rain. It is a well-known secret spot for cherry blossom and maple viewing in Shikoku, but it is located quite deep in the mountains, so it would be more convenient to drive there. #Shikoku Hot Springs #Tokushima #Iya Gorge #Hot Springs #100 Ways to Travel

Shikoku is one of the best places for a road trip. Due to the underdeveloped railway network and scattered attractions, driving is the best way to fully enjoy the trip. First, we recommend visiting Tokushima's Iya Valley, which is far from any train station and lacks direct bus access. The Iya Vine Bridge, located in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture, is one of Japan's three most unusual bridges. This bridge spans the Iya River, is about 45 meters long, and is woven from vines. Walking on it, you can see the flowing water of the valley below, which is thrilling and exciting. The history of the Iya Vine Bridge dates back to ancient times and is said to have been built to prevent enemy pursuit, with the ability to be quickly cut down if necessary. Near the Iya Vine Bridge, there is the famous Shin-Iya Onsen Kazurabashi Hotel. The hot spring facilities here include an open-air bath with a view of the Iya Valley, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery while soaking. The hot spring water is a simple sulfur spring, which helps to relieve fatigue and beautify the skin. Staying at the nearby hot spring hotel for a night, you can enjoy the illuminated night view again in the evening. The best seasons to visit the Iya Vine Bridge are spring and autumn. The cherry blossoms in spring and the autumn foliage add vibrant colors to the valley, making it the best time for photography and enjoying natural beauty. The lush greenery of summer and the snowy scenery of winter also have their own charm, suitable for visitors in different seasons to experience. You can reach the Iya Vine Bridge by driving along Prefectural Route 32. There is a parking lot near the Iya Vine Bridge, making it convenient for road trippers to park.

#Watersports #Oboke As a Hong Kong airline has recently launched a direct route to Tokushima Prefecture, today I will introduce a scenic boat tour in Tokushima Prefecture! Oboke is located in Tokushima Prefecture and is one of Japan's famous canyon attractions. The canyon here is cut by the Yoshino River and features magnificent natural scenery and bizarre rock structures. Oboke’s name means “bold walk” and because of the rugged terrain and spectacular scenery, it is an ideal place for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. Take the Oboke Cruise and enjoy the magnificent views of both sides of the canyon during the approximately 30-minute cruise. The boat slowly travels through the calm waters, giving passengers plenty of time to admire the turquoise waters and towering rock faces. Cherry blossoms in spring, greenery in summer, red leaves in autumn and snow in winter, each season has its own unique beauty. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to see wildlife such as birds of prey, wild deer and monkeys. Oboke cruises are available all year round, but the best seasons are spring and autumn. The cherry blossoms in spring and the red leaves in autumn add brilliant colors to the canyon, making it the perfect time to take photos and admire the natural beauty. The cool river water in summer and the snow scenery in winter each have their own characteristics, suitable for tourists to experience in different seasons. 💰Per capita consumption: The ticket price for the Oboke Cruise is 1,500 yen for adults and 750 yen for children (3 years old to elementary school students).

In recent years, there have been direct flights from Hong Kong to Shikoku, and many people have traveled there. One of the major tourist attractions in Shikoku is the Oboke Gorge sightseeing boat tour in Tokushima Prefecture. Today, I want to introduce you to Hanan Coffee, which is just a 5-minute walk from JR Oboke Station. Oboke and Koboke are narrow canyon rapids, and the JR Dosan Line is very winding and twisting. The Oboke Station is located right next to the river, and as soon as you get off the station, you will see the word 'COFFEE' written in large letters on the other side of the canyon. This is Hanan Coffee. This small shop only offers coffee and snacks like pastries, but the view of the canyon, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and noisy crowds, provides a comfortable environment where every sip of coffee lingers in your mouth. Trains arrive almost every hour, and watching the train slowly pull into the station while sipping coffee is one of my favorite sights. If you plan to visit Oboke for a sightseeing boat tour or even visit the Iya Kazurabashi Bridge, don't miss this canyon café. 🕰️ Business Hours: Irregular holidays, please check their Instagram before visiting 📍 Address: 2158-4, National Route 32, Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture, Shikoku (next to Oboke Bridge) 💰 Average Spending: HKD 60

The 'Shikoku Mannaka Millennium Story' sightseeing train offers the best railway journey in Shikoku 🚞. Last year, during my trip to Kagawa Prefecture, I had the chance to ride this train. It slowly traveled along the river, allowing passengers to admire the scenery through the large windows, which was truly breathtaking. Japanese sightseeing trains are renowned far and wide. Among them, the train running between Tadotsu in Kagawa Prefecture and Oboke in Tokushima Prefecture stands out with its exterior themed around the four seasons 🌸☀️🍂❄️ and its interior showcasing traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The seats on the train offer direct views through large windows of the passing scenery, such as Mt. Iino and Manno Pond in Kagawa Prefecture. The train transitions from urban areas to rural landscapes, and then into forested streams, making the changing scenery highly anticipated! Additionally, the train provides exquisite dining options, featuring Western cuisine made with local Sanuki ingredients from Kagawa Prefecture, allowing passengers to enjoy both the views and the food for a perfect experience! The journey includes a stop at Kotohira Station, where you can visit Kotohira Shrine and a dedicated VIP lounge before continuing south to enjoy the rest of the trip. The railway journey in Kagawa is perfect for families, offering an easy way to explore the natural beauty and local culture along the route. Due to the popularity of these sightseeing trains, it's essential to book nearly a month in advance. So, next time you plan a trip to Kagawa Prefecture, make sure to plan ahead and reserve your spot on the 'Shikoku Mannaka Millennium Story' sightseeing train!

"Iya Man Bridge", one of the three wonders of Japan, is a rare trip to Shikoku, so of course it should be included in the itinerary! Rarely seen 👍🏻 This bridge built using vines, made of approximately 6 tons of vines and wood, 45 meters long and 2 meters wide, is now listed as an important tangible folk cultural property. Whenever you walk across the vine bridge, you can look at the clear river water from the seams under the wooden boards, plus the occasional rocking and shaking, which is always scary, but also very interesting😄! (In front of the Zuya Man Bridge, there is a 50-meter-high waterfall "Bipa Falls" very close, you can take pictures up close, and it is also a beautiful photo spot 🥰) Address: 162-2 Zende, Nishizuyayama Village, Miyoshi, Tokushima Prefecture Cost: Adult ¥550 Child ¥350 #Naturalscapes #100 Ways to Travel #August Good Places 2024

The wetlands here are a natural treasure waiting to be discovered. 🌾🔍 The atmosphere of the wetlands is full of mystery and adventure.

It was a moment of adventure with nature that allowed me to re-experience the mystery and natural beauty of the wetlands. 💦🌾 Kurosawa Wetlands is an adventure into natural treasures and mysterious wetlands, where the scenery is full of mystery and richness. If you also long for an adventure journey that connects you with nature, why not find a suitable time to go on an adventure in Kurosawa Wetlands! 🔍🌿💦 #Japanese and Korean urban attractions

The Kazura Bridge over the Iya River is also a designated important tangible ethnic cultural property. You pay the fee at the entrance and cross the bridge. The wooden planks are spaced apart so you can see the ground clearly. The bridge is 45m long, and everyone crosses slowly to avoid falling. The view of the valley is amazing! You can see the waterfall even after crossing the Kazura Bridge, and feel the negative ions✨ [Iya's Kazura Bridge] 📍162-2 Zentoku, Nishiiyayamamura, Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture 🚗 Paid parking available Price/Adults (junior high school students and above) 550 yen, elementary school students 350 yen, infants free #Domestic travel#Iya Valley#Kazura Bridge#Tokushima#Tokushima sightseeing#Outing#Outing with children#Breathtaking views

Man Bridge is an ancient suspension bridge, 45 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 14 meters above the river. It is woven with mountain vines and steel cables. It was an important lifeline for mountain residents in the past. Originally, such bridges were everywhere, but now there are only a few left. Now it is used for sightseeing, allowing tourists to step onto the Man Bridge and experience the scene of mountain residents crossing the bridge in the past! The vine bridge is one-way, and most people will walk forward while holding on to the vines on both sides. It doesn’t seem too scary when standing on the side of the bridge, because I am used to playing exciting amusement rides! You can immediately feel the fear and excitement when you stand on the bridge. Looking down from the bridge, you can see that the gaps between the wooden boards are quite large, and some of the boards seem to be very thin. It would be a bit weak to walk without holding on to the sides! In addition, many people walking on the bridge at the same time will cause the bridge to shake and vibrate from time to time. You really don’t know unless you experience it yourself! Iya Gorge is located deep in the mountains of Shikoku and still retains its unspoiled natural scenery. Looking down from the bridge, you can clearly see the clear water of the Iya Gorge!

Iya Onsen Hotel Recommendation 😍😍😍 Stayed at this Iya Noboku Manya Hotel, very close to Manbashi, although the transportation is not very convenient, but JR Obu Dano Station by taxi, is not too expensive 🚘 The room is not too small for a Japanese hot spring hotel, the most important thing is that the place is clean and tidy!

There are two narrow canyons meandering at the edge of the Tokushima River in the mountains of Tokushima: the big step and the small step ☺️ This river has a peculiar terrain and rapid water flow, so many people will engage in extreme water sports here, such as: rafting, streaming, canoeing, etc Sitting on a small cruise ship, the river is not fast, slowly crossing the canyon, another scenery ❤️ However, the sightseeing pier is not close to Dabuki JR station, you need to walk 30min to reach it😌 #Japan Attractions

[Shikoku Tokushima Big Step Danger] Japan's three secret hot springs - #Zuya Onsen 😍😍😍 Last time we talked about Shinzuya Onsen Hotel Manqiao there is a private cable car that can go up the mountain to soak in the open air, not only good equipment, its rooms are very comfortable! "The Room." There is plenty of space in the room with a separate toilet and bathtub. The scenery is beautiful too! "facilities" This hotel is superb with free use of washer and dryer and several massage chairs for free use to continue relaxing after the hot tub! "service" The hotel staff are generally not very good at English, but they are all very smiling and super attentive. Once we got there we saw our name on the welcome sign! At checkout a staff member not only helped us get our luggage across the road to wait for the bus, but also waited for the bus to help us get on board and even helped us tell the driver where to go! Before leaving, he also gave us a pack of candy! #SeeEarthInstantly #JapanTravel #Eleven ConsumptionVoucher #JapanTravel

Address: Higashiyamada-55-2 Oasachohinoki, Naruto, Tokushima 779-0225, Japan. Getting there: You can take a bus and get off at the Nijukazurabashi bus stop. Highlights: The Oku-Iya Kazurabashi is two of the surviving bridges still stand side by side deep in the inner valley. They are total of 13 suspension bridges made of mountain vines (kazurabashi) used to exist in the Iya Valley and provided a vital means of getting people and goods across the river in the past. This is really eye-opening as you wont be able to have this spectacular experience else where. The bridges are constructed with steel cables hidden within the vines for safety and are rebuilt every three years. They are connected to each other by a network of paved hiking trails that also lead to camping facilities on the far side of the river. Opening hours: 9am to 5pm daily Admission fee: 550yen #bucketlistreboot #traveljapan #culturewalk #awesomepic

The "Iya Kaze Bridge" is located in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. It is an original suspension bridge built on natural vines over the Iya Gorge. The vine bridge is built with vines and is 14 meters above the river. When you walk on it, the suspension bridge will shake. The bridge deck is made only of logs and firewood. As you cross the bridge, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the clear river and deep green valley. When you are on the bridge, you will immediately feel the constant shaking and swaying of the bridge deck. In addition, the footrests of the bridge deck are made of semi-cylindrical tree trunks, with a gap of about 1.5 to 2 inches between the trunks, so you can see the river and riverbed under the bridge.

Departing from Obukai Station to Zuya, the station platform has seen a mini version of the vine bridge, very cute. When you reach Zu Valley, you can first take a picture of the Vine Bridge from a high place, then go down the valley and finally see the Vine Bridge. I'm not afraid of heights, I'm not afraid of walking on the suspension bridge, but the bottom of the bridge is very big, I'm afraid I'll drop my phone when taking pictures 😅 The bridge is not long, but it moves as you walk and you have to take pictures, so it took a long time. Then you can stop by to see Biwa Falls. #OverseasTravel #JapanTravel #大步危 #祖谷 #VineBridge #Manbridge

I went to Biwa Falls in Iya Valley, Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture! Biwa Falls is located next to Kazurabashi Bridge, a famous tourist spot in Iya Valley. It's not so hot that you get splashed with water, but it's a great waterfall that you can see up close! They sell grilled salted amago trout nearby, so you can eat it while you look at the waterfall. You can also go down to the riverside where the waterfall flows and play. The beautiful color of the river was very soothing~☺️ #BreathtakingView #PhotogenicSpot
