Highlights
In principle, reservations are for two persons or more. This tour lets you experience the beauty of the hidden Iya Valley at first hand through the magic of the BROMPTON bicycle. After meeting in Awa-Ikeda, take the train to Oboke Station. While waiting for the bus at Oboke Station, check out the interesting shops. Then take a bus to the Iya Valley vine bridge. Near the vine bridge, you can see the beautiful Biwa Waterfall and go down to the Iya River. From there, ride on the old road along the valley beside the emerald green Iya River. The beauty and grandeur of the ever-changing valley makes you forget your everyday life. Points of interest include the Hi no Ji Bend, and the Peeing Boy standing on a 200 m-high precipice. The Iya Valley road runs gently downhill for most of the way, so no special physical prowess is required. The rest area has a fine view, perfect for Instagram. Enjoy the charm of the Iya Valley which can’t be experienced fully by car.

Itinerary
Iya, where the wisdom of the old people is inherited and lives that make effective use of plant resources still remain. It ’s thrilling, but I recommend the best and memorable experience!
Along with a Brompton bicycle, you can run through the superb view of the Iya Valley, which changes its expression with the seasons. The course is centered on a gentle downhill and there are few cars, so you can experience nature while taking a leisurely photo!
Beautiful waterfall. You can go down to a nearby river and enjoy the clear stream.

About Miyoshi
Miyoshi is a mountain city in western Tokushima on Shikoku, gateway to the Iya Valley, its vine bridges and the rafting gorges of the Yoshino River.
Miyoshi occupies the mountainous western edge of Tokushima Prefecture on the island of Shikoku, where the Yoshino River cuts steep gorges through the interior. Awa Ikeda, the town on the river, is the main centre, and from it narrow roads climb into the Iya Valley, a deep, forested valley of hillside hamlets that long stayed remote.
