Iya Fureai Park

Iya Fureai Park

祖谷ふれあい公園

Tokushima · Shikoku

A riverside park on the Iya river in Nishi-Iya, built for a day outdoors rather than a quick look: waterside walkways and wooden play structures, a camp site, a woodworking room, a monorail ride down the slope and a Forest Adventure course whose zip line crosses the river. The gorge scenery is the same one the valley is famous for, without the queue at the vine bridge.

Why it's hidden

Many travelers focus on more famous attractions in Shikoku, overlooking this tranquil gem.
