Adventure in Higashi Iya or east Iya

Buckwheat noodle making can be tried with a local cerebrity Ms. Tsuzuki in Higashi Iya. She starts making the noodle by milling the soba buckwheat grains. She is a splendid folk song singer, too.

Iya has a pair of vine bridges as well as NOEN or wild monkey cargo. Humans or their luggage can be carried across the river. 

Try the Ochiai village whose significance is recognized by the central government. It looks like a Togenkyo or a fairly land on the hillside.
