Introduction:
Situated in the western part of Tokushima and located almost in the center of Shikoku, the Iya area is one of the three most unexplored regions of Japan, and forms a part of the Mt. Tsurugi Quasi-National Park. Deep in the bosom of Mt. Tsurugi, the second tallest mountain in Shikoku, the region is surrounded by mountains in the Shikoku Mountain range, with a deep valley formed among the mountains cut through by the Iya River, a tributary of the Yoshino River.
Fact:
This is a pretty definite must see when travelling in the region. The bridge is made from big vines and the construction is actually really interesting. Massive beams on either side support the bridge.
How to get there:
By car-approximately 50 minutes from the Ikawa/Ikeda interchange on Tokushima-do; By bus-approximately one hour byfrom the JR Awa Ikeda Station, or approximately 20 minutes from the JR Oboke Station, and a three minute walk from the Kazura-bashi bus station.
