The statue of the “Peeing Boy,” standing on a rock jutting out over a 200-meter precipice in the Iya Valley, is a very impactful landscape representing Tokushima. It was created based on an anecdote that local children and travelers once tested their courage from this spot. Below flows the emerald green shimmering Iya River; the contrast between the deep, steep valley beauty and the small standing statue is a sight you won’t forget. During the autumn foliage season, the entire valley turns vibrant red and yellow, bringing its beauty to a peak. Though the spot might make your legs tremble, the panorama of the Iya Valley from here is spectacular. As proof of visiting the hidden region of Iya, many travelers come to take photos at this spot where humor and stunning views coexist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
