Day Trip to the Iya Valley
Kotohira is a great springboard for day trips into the Shikoku countryside
From Kotohira your guide and driver can take you to the hidden valleys and rivers of Iya. We recommend visiting Oku-Iya Kazurabashi, a pair of vine bridges known as the "husband and wife bridges". The valleys are beautiful and there is the opportunity for a walk along the river or more strenuous hiking. We suggest stopping by the bridges for a picnic lunch - champagne optional!
In the afternoon we'll arrange a private boat trip through the Oboke Gorge, or you may prefer a more adventurous rafting or canyoning trip. History buffs can visit a restored samurai residence which displays interesting tools and implements necessary for daily life in this remote region.
