70mins ride only charge me 2000yens. It is unbelievable. The ride climb up to 1380m from around 800m above sea level. The vehicle is slow and you can totally enjoy the fresh air in the forest. I saw a deer amongst wood. And I was thinking if I would see other animal like bear. Lucky not. Come an enjoy the fresh air bath with the ride!

I experienced the first rafting with family. I applied to the shop “safari”, because this shop is doing pick up service between the shop and Awa-Ikeda Station of JR. Staffs are very kind and cheerful, and foreign staffs are working. I could spend very happy time while enjoying a scene of beautiful Koboke with my familliy. 三好市池田町イタノ3306-6にある『サファリ』というお店に申し込んで初のラフティングを家族で楽しみました。このお店はJRの阿波池田駅まで迎えに来てくれます。スタッフの方はとても陽気で親切。美しい小歩危の景観を楽しみながら、ファミリーコースではラフティングの途中でボートを滑り台にして滑ったり、高い岩の上から飛び込んだり、色々遊んで満喫できました。他にも色々なコースがあり、リピーター割引もあるので、来年も是非行きたいと思います。

The most accessible and popular vine bridge as you can access it by JR and also car. Just 5 mins from the parking lot and you will see a breathtaking view. The valley is beautiful and the bridge is one of a kind, one of Japan's 3 most peculiar bridges. Made of mountain vines at the Iya Valley it a really special experience to walk on it and enjoy the scenic views.

The station is barebones -- it doesn't even have a ticket window at which you can purchase assigned seats for your express trains. However, don't let that fool you. Make sure you open the sliding door to the "waiting room" inside so that you can meet the wonderful people there. We had 4.5 hours in the area, so we took several walks that they recommended and ended up walking about 10 miles. One of the routes took us along the gorgeous Yoshino River and into the mountains, where a dozen or so statues of ancient Japanese monsters adorned the paths. The gorge alone, of course, makes for gorgeous Instagram-worthy photos, but if you enjoy the grotesque, the monster route may be for you. At the end of the third route, as I ran down a paved road, I took a pretty bad fall and got all bruised up. Once I hobbled back to the station, however, the ladies there took super-good care of me. They patched me up in no time, made sure I was okay, and gave me extra bandages and stuff to last several days. One of the ladies, Yukiko Yamaguchi, the de facto tourism ambassador of the area, was insanely dynamic! She and her husband own and run the local stores. She knew all about the area and was extremely generous with her knowledge. You won't miss her -- she's the one shown in posters with the famous "Boke-age," a local delicacy (it's one big fried tofu). While you're there, you should try the Iya Soba with Boke-age, which is also available at her shop/restaurant up the hill from the station. You'll get a wonderful, filling meal for a very reasonable price! Yamashita-san at the station will answer any question you have. While you're at it, talk to her about movies (she loves them -- especially American ones). And Hashida-san, the JR attendant, rounds out the personalities at the station. All kind, hospitable, lovely people. Get to the station for the scenery; stay for the people. You won't regret it!
