Nestled deep into the mountains of Tokushima, lies the Iya Valley. What an amazing quiet getaway and adventure this was.

[@shawneydepp]

Can't believe I had a brief moment of drowning 💀

[@PotatoInJapan]

woo i went last month to find tsumiki san, the mother of scarecrows who created all 350 scarecrows in the village haha.. did an interview video on her... really interesting story

[@shawneydepp]

Wow. That’s super cool! Watched it, great interview

[@PotatoInJapan]

@@shawneydepp i was very afraid actually cos i went solo.. the drive there is so windy and scary don't u think so??

[@carlosaquilayan945]

How does it compare to Sado Island? Also I stayed with Erina-san!

[@shawneydepp]

Wow awesome! Iya is more secluded and smaller than Sado. And there are no restaurants open for dinner, so you have to dine at your hotel

[@AaronLin88588488]

You really look like you are drowning.....holding on to each other is pretty dangerous....but i guess its easy for the guide to manage

[@shawneydepp]

Yeah tbh it did feel like it. Desperately trying to gasp for air for that brief moment. Wouldn’t recommend to ever float through the rapids like that
