This place is wild! 😮 The Iya Valley blew us away. We went to a village filled with hundreds of scarecrows, crossed 3 bridges made of vines, saw a waterfall, ate lunch on top of a mountain, and drove some pretty sketchy narrow roads. We had a great day getting off the beaten path in Japan, in such a peaceful and remote area that’s just filled with things to do!

The Iya Valley (祖谷渓, Iyakei) is a remote, mountainous valley in the Tokushima Prefecture on Japan’s Shikoku Island. There used to be 13 suspension bridges existing in the valley, but now there are just 3 remaining. While the main pull for tourists is Iya Kazurabashi, we recommend going early to see it, as it can get really crowded! Or alternitively, you can visit the more remote and less visited double vine bridges and possibly have the place to yourself. There are a lot of activities, museums and sites to see in the valley, so 2-3 days to see it all would be best.
We recommend renting a car to explore the valley, as the area is pretty remote. There are a few buses, but they only come a few times a day and limit how much you can see in a day! If you are wanting to experience remote Japan, the Iya Valley is a must see.

Thanks for the video. It’s so fun to watch, and it’s soothing at the same time. Thank you for sharing your trip and spreading joy…love all your videos. Question: Is Adrian taking time off work for this trip?
❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine emprutt.ONLINE Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenns ich 4 wählen würde
1:45 That's kinda creepy
Ooooo i got an ad!
So beautiful. Riding up on the buckets looked epic 😝
a cool video keep up the great content… Thank you…
Hi guys,
Holly sh*t, Adrian! What gorgeous sceneries. It seems each one of those wooden suspension bridges must have an interesting story behind it.
I also wonder if a Japanese media outlet has covered Ayano-San and her creations, at some point.
Anyhow, thank you for introducing another gem,

How do they keep them from getting wet in the rain? I would guess they get nasty and have to remake them? Thanks for the creep out?!? Great video.
Thanks for sharing! Beautiful scenery and hidden gems.
Nice place,I’ve been there before…
