The local experience
A suspension bridge of woven vines about 45 meters long, 14 meters above the Iya River in Nishi-Iya; it is rebuilt every three years and is crossed by stepping on spaced wooden planks.
An approximately 8 km stretch of the Yoshino River between pale rock cliffs, travelled on a leisurely boat trip; just downstream, the Koboke gorge has the rafting rapids.
Two vine bridges, the man’s and the woman’s, at the bottom of the Iya Valley in Higashi-Iya, with a hand-pulled wooden cart on a cable to cross the river; they sit in a forested area and close in winter.
