And now, do you know that
“Ochiai-Shuraku”

“an explored region”?

There are old stone walls and old Japanese-style houses in Ochiai-Shuraku.
In spite of unimproved access because there are only 5 busses in a day,
a lot of foreign tourists visit there every day.

The hight difference in there is 390 m, and 160 people are living there.
Most of them are over 65 years olds, however, they welcome foreign tourists.
To show their welcome, they study English positively.

Iya area has nature.
Warmful hospitality and marvelous views of
“the sea of clouds”
or
“Kazura bridges”
are not only its charms, but also
“a lodging experience at the old Japanese-style house”
is a big charm of them.

From the window at the Japanese house with a measure of refinement,
you can see a view of full nature from season to season.
It heals you physically and mentally to relax and enjoy talking at the Japanese room
and be comfortable with feeling of the tatami for your stretched legs.

Apart from that, Tokushima has various tourism spots like a promenade called
“Uzunomichi”
that is able to see
”Naruto whirlpool”
up close.
