[Tokushima Trip] The Manneken Pis standing on a cliff!!

Iya, located in the Iya River basin in the western part of Tokushima Prefecture, known for its deep mountains, was once one of the "Three Great Unexplored Regions of Japan," along with Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture and Shiiba Village in Miyazaki Prefecture. For those with a fear of heights, this place may seem "impossible," but the "Manneken Pis" stands alone on a cliff, standing on a rock left over from the construction of the Iya Highway. It is said that children who lived nearby and travelers passing by used to climb or jump on the rock that juts out from the cliff as a test of courage, and this "Manneken Pis" was created in 1968 based on this anecdote. Why not visit this somewhat amusing and interesting scene, where beauty and mystery coexist, with a Manneken Pis urinating on a cliff against the backdrop of beautiful mountains in the midst of lush nature?! ? #Breathtaking views #Free spots #Historical sites #Tokushima #Autumn leaves #Japan Genki Project 2021
