The suspension bridge, woven from shirakuchikazura vines, is approximately 45 m long and 14 m high. You can see the stream through the gaps beneath your feet, and the thrill of the bridge swaying as you cross is part of its appeal. With its historical romance surrounding the legend of the Heike warriors who fled into hiding here, combined with the beautiful valley scenery that changes with the seasons, it is one of Iya's most iconic scenic spots.

    Iya ValleyThe hidden Iya Valley in Tokushima Prefecture is a treasure trove of untouched nature deep in the Shikoku Mountains. The spectacular scenery created by sheer cliffs, a deep V-shaped valley, and the emerald-green Iya River is truly a quintessential Japanese landscape. The "Peeing Boy" statue standing on a cliff is another highlight. The villages where the legend of the Heike warriors who fled into hiding here lives on, as well as local cuisine, are also part of the area's appeal. Forget about everyday life and immerse yourself in the magnificent nature and history. A special journey that will soothe your mind and soul awaits you.
