#花花#100 ways to travel While traveling by car in Shikoku, we moved from Okubo Temple in Kagawa Prefecture to Iya Valley in Tokushima Prefecture. Unexpectedly, on the sparsely populated mountain forest trail, I actually spotted a sea of ​​flowers on both sides, and the white and rosy "Yoshino Sakura", golden The bright yellow "jasmine flowers" and the pink and fragrant "magnolias" as big as a bowl, combined with the emerald blue stream, make it look like a fairyland! Cherry blossoms are very common in the Japanese countryside, but this was the first time I saw such a huge and beautiful magnolia in the wild. Magnolia, also known as magnolia, has pink flowers, large and showy, like lotus blooming on a tree, with a faint fragrance. When not blooming, it is oval-shaped and blooms at the same time as cherry blossoms. Although Tokushima Prefecture is very rural, the cherry blossoms are not as blooming as Japan's famous cherry blossom viewing spots. However, there are fewer crowds and it is easier to enjoy the flowers leisurely and take photos. In fact, it is not bad when you think about it. ✓Recommended attractions in Tokushima: Iya Valley, Obuike #ShikokuTravel #Tokushima Prefecture #Iyakoi #大OBOK #Japanese Cherry Blossom #Hanami #100 Ways to Travel #Magnolia #Magnolia

#japantrip Shikoku is one of Japan’s most rural islands. It is popular for that pilgrimage route and natural beauty. There are about 88 Buddhist temples you'd pass by on this route. While the island is not served by mainland transport like Shinkansen, there are efficient alternatives like the apid trains, it takes only three hours to get to Tokushima, one of the principal cities of Shikoku, from Osaka. The toshushima city in tokushima prefecture is one of the culturally most rewarding regions in Shikoku. In addition to some of the most beautiful temples on the Shikoku Pilgrimage Route, the prefecture is also home to Iya Valley, which centuries ago was the hiding ground of Heike soldiers trying to escape the Genji Clan after the Genpei War. The valley is also home to picturesque vine bridges that connect the two sides of the river. I recommend staying at an onsen place which has those onsens facing the view of the river.#japantrip #scenic #offbeat

The day I went back to Kagawa from Kochi, seeing that I had time, I went to Dabuwei and Zuxi for a walk. Although I have been there several times, I still felt shocked. I took a few more breaths of fresh air and I felt more relaxed! If you go by JR, usually get off at #Obakuji Station, the station view is also very beautiful I just happened to meet #Superman train passing! The bridge is 45 meters long and 2 meters wide. The main structure of the entire bridge is made of vines grown from the creeping deciduous tree - Actinidia arguta At 10 meters, it is the bridge connecting West Zugu Village and East Zugu Village; the bridge is connected by wooden strips and vines. Walking on it, you can directly see the surging water of Zugu Creek, which is very dangerous; the bridge was selected as Tripadvisor's "Bucket list of the world's top 10 'pedestrian suspension bridges'" #Japan #Shikoku #Tokushima Prefecture #Obu Dangerous #Zuya Man Bridge #Zuya Stream #Overseas Travel #Japan Secret Scenery #Japan's Three Wonderful Bridges #Secret Place
