Based in the heart of Shikoku's Iya Valley, we offer the widest range of one-of-a-kind guided tours and experiences of this secluded region, with both fixed or flexible routes to meet your specific needs or interests.
Explore ancient hillside hamlets like Ochiai Village and its historic thatched roof farmhouses, taste the area's delicious food and maybe learn to cook some as well, sway across the daring vine bridges that are unique to the valley, climb lofty mountain peaks like Mt. Tsurugi and encounter stunning viewpoints, discover amazing spots like the Scarecrow Village of Nagoro, and all the while be charmed by the humble Iya people.
Led by an English speaking local guide and taken by private car and driver, we can help you create the perfect tour itinerary for your half-day, full day, or multi-day visit. See more about our tours >>
Sorry, but for Spring 2024 we are fully booked from now until June 6th so we are not available for tours during this time. Thank you for your consideration, and we hope you enjoy your visit to the Iya Valley!
We will not be available for Guided Tours from July 24 to August 20, 2024. But if you are planning to come during this time, it is instead possible to arrange a Taxi-only Tour by contacting Kazurabashi Taxi directly via their website. Thank you.
