What to expect

Let's go from Kotohira to the secluded region of Iya in Tokushima Prefecture.

Iya, Tokushima Prefecture, is one of “Japan’s Three Secluded Regions.” You can visit the thrilling “Kazurabashi Bridge” and the magnificent “Oboke Gorge” in half a day by shuttle bus departing from Kotohira. <Kazurabashi Bridge>

The legendary “Kazurabashi Bridge” stands quietly deep in the mountains of Iya, Tokushima. This 45m long suspension bridge, woven from Shirakuchikazura vines, offers a thrilling experience with the gorge visible through the gaps in your feet, and a magnificent view embraced by untouched nature. It is one of Japan’s few secluded spots where you can enjoy both at the same time. *The vehicle operating on the day may be a jumbo taxi.

*Depending on the weather and atmospheric conditions, it may not be possible to take photos like those on the website. *This bus is a route bus. There is no attendant or guide. [Please check the applicable fees before booking]

Review for: Kotohira to Iya half-day bus tour

This is a quick, convenient way to experience oboke gorge and Iya valley, as long as you need only the transport and not much guidance. There is enough time at each place to take photos and explore. Keep in mind that you won’t have the time to do a boat ride at Oboke Gorge. In the case of Iya Valley there is enough time to click photos, cross the vine bridge and even shop for souvenirs. The mini bus is comfortable and spacious, and works well for the trip

It's convenient because you can get to the attractions without driving. A half-day is suitable and not too strenuous, and you can visit Kotohira-gu Shrine in the afternoon.

Review for: Kotohira to Iya half-day bus tour

Upon arriving at Oboke, the driver mentioned that waiting two hours for the 11:30 bus was a bit too long, and we wouldn't be visiting the Iya Vine Bridge as stated in the itinerary. This was a bit disappointing, especially since Oboke is accessible by JR anyway.
