Iya Vine Bridge: A Hidden Gem in Tokushima

I visited "Iya Vine Bridge" located deep in the mountains of Tokushima! This suspension bridge is woven from shirakuchi vines and sways a lot, with gaps in the flooring that make it feel quite thrilling. I heard that people used to cross this bridge as part of their daily lives, which is honestly mind-blowing... The lush green scenery in April is absolutely stunning, so I highly recommend visiting right now. I spent about 30 minutes sitting on a rock, just zoning out and enjoying the view. It's located on the route from Kagawa to Kochi, so make sure to include it in your Shikoku road trip! Make it a one-night stay to enjoy the nearby hot springs, Yokai Street, and river rafting 😆 📍Location 162-2 Zentoku, Nishiiya Yamamura, Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture 🕰️Operating Hours (varies by season) April–June: 8:00–18:00 July–August: 7:30–18:30 September–March: 8:00–17:00 ※Open year-round 💰Admission Fee Adults (middle school and above): 550 yen Elementary school students: 350 yen ・Preschool children: Free
