WELCOME BACK! Today we're sharing our EPIC bike trip on the Shimanami Kaido, often called the most beautiful trail in Japan! It is 80 km long, and you pass over 6 bridges across 6 islands. Although we were warned not to attempt it in the summer because of how hot and humid it is, here we are on one of the hottest weekends in the summer 🫠 It was absolutely worth it though, and we would highly re...

MUST SEE REMOTE JAPAN | Shikoku Island (scarecrow village, waterfalls, bridges) IYA VALLEY TOKUSHIMA
มุมมอง 3.6Kปีที่แล้ว
This place is wild! 😮 The Iya Valley blew us away. We went to a village filled with hundreds of scarecrows, crossed 3 bridges made of vines, saw a waterfall, ate lunch on top of a mountain, and drove some pretty sketchy narrow roads. We had a great day getting off the beaten path in Japan, in such a peaceful and remote area that's just filled with things to do! MORE IYA VALLEY ADVENTURES: th-ca...

    Stumbled across this video today. Hope you enjoy living in Takahashi. I had some friends who lived there back in the day while I was in Okayama-shi. My favorite memory is visiting during the Bitchu Takahashi Matsuyama Odori. I'd like to visit again but those summer temps have been crazy the past few years especially if one wants to climb to the castle. Cheers.

    We were really disappointed when we realised we'd missed the school gym in Nagoro. We wandered around the village and saw most of the scarecrows... except for the gym. We hope to go back some day and check out the school too. Otherwise, the whole Iya Valley is sensational. The vine bridges were superb. We were actually interviewed by Japanese TV show at the vine bridges. I didn't get to record that interview unfortunately, but the host of the show graciously said hello on camera for my video. 😂 We stayed at a guesthouse across the road from the single Kazurabashi bridge but we didn't end up crossing that bridge and went to the other bridges (near Nagoro) instead. We ran out of time for Mt Tsuragi too. We'll definitely have to go up there next time after seeing your pictures. Nice job with the video!
