[Lonely in the mountains] A hidden spot

📍Hinoji Valley and the Manneken Boy The emerald-green Iya River flows through the deep V-shaped valley, and if you look down from above, you can see it dizzyingly far below. In autumn, the entire mountain is covered in autumn leaves from the valley floor to the peak, and can be seen from cars and buses. Rocks left over from the construction of the Iya Highway jut out from the cliffs along the Iya River, and on top of the rock stands a Manneken Boy, created based on an anecdote that local children and travelers once used to test their courage, and it has become a tourist spot! The location is deep in the mountains. It says that you have to go down a road where you can't even pass each other. This spot can only be reached by car, so we don't recommend it unless you're good at driving. We recommend a compact car like a minicar💦😂 #0 yen trip January 2025
