Top Things to Do in Miyoshi City, Tokushima

Buon giorno! It’s Mr. Wada back on duty. This time I would like to share things to do in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture.

Top Things to Do in Miyoshi City, Tokushima

Miyoshi City is full of nature which we, the Wadas appreciate the most. One of our favorite places Kazurabashi (introduced by Mrs. Wada) is in Miyoshi City as well. Let’s start with it with more photos!

 

Kazurabashi Suspension Bridge

Kazurabashi is a suspension bridge made of ivy. It looks scary but durable enough to hold numbers of people at once. To be honest I AM frightened of height but this is quite enjoyable.

I strongly suggest to lineup before 10 AM. It gets even busier in the afternoon.I strongly suggest to lineup before 10 AM. It gets even busier in the afternoon.

Iya River

Iya river runs right below the Kazurabashi bridge. Even in summer, water is cold enough to cool down all the heat. Why not take off shoes and go soak your feet?

Lunch at Iya Bjin

Iya Bijin is a ryokan (Japanese style hotel) and also serves food at its restaurant with great views of Iya valley! It’s not far from the Kazurabashi bridge. It’d be nice to stop by for slurping some noodles, wouldn’t it?

Iya Valley and The Statue of the Peeing Boy

This statue stands in the middle of the Iya valley. A little hard to access (though accessible by car or local bus) but surroundings are really nice (a perfect photo spot). Worth a visit while in Iya area.

Apparently just like this local kids used to prove their bravery by standing and peein. Oh well…Apparently just like this local kids used to prove their bravery by standing and peein. Oh well…

Boat Ride

Boat ride is another way to enjoy the nature. Some places offer rafting but if you prefer something slow (like we do), this would be it. It goes like for a half hour. No reservation needed.
