Lovely place with baths so you can relax after a long day of exploring the area! Truly right in front of the Vine Bridge as well as close to other hot spots of the area. The rooms were very comfortable and well kept, kitchen organized and even having snacks and food to buy if you didn’t do groceries beforehand. Staff was also so kind and helpful! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a delightful stay in the Iya Valley!

The location in the Iya valley was fantastic.
Google translate was important as the host spoke little English.
Bedding was futons but hard on the hips!
Dinner and breakfast were good and typically Japanese.

Very friendly staff, nice craft beer downstairs, located right next to the train station.
To say the Iya valley is beautiful would be an understatement. The vine bridges, the scarecrow village and gorges are pretty much all you'll hear about and for good reason. They're the main attraction and the reason people go. It's all about the nature and a handful of curiosities like the Yokai museum.
While not the tourist powerhouse of big cities like Kyoto, it does kind of live off of its "in the know" tourists. A new generation of younger entrepreneurs are trying to revitalize the area and transform it into something more in line with their modern sensibilities.
Travel is not easy and requires a lot of planning and preparation. Buses are extremely rare and trains as well. Bad weather can throw a wrench into your plans and mess up everything. Renting a car almost a must in order to visit the more far away spots, but a strong and experienced cyclists could probably do it - maybe. Those hills and mountains aren't always easy! And those trucks get a bit scary.
I stayed in Ikeda-cho, one of the bigger areas of Miyoshi city but still a bit of a one horse town.
But one thing is has going for it is that you can follow the Yoshino river for an 80km ride into Tokushima city. On a nice day, it's one of the best bike rides you could do.

Miyoshi is great.
Miyoshi is great. Spread over quite a few km, this area has so much to offer. I loved the historic elements as well as the scenery/ geography. Most restaurants focus on fresh local produce, and spot on for flavour and quality !

I booked there one week before leaving Japan since I never went to an Onsen. It is definitely not the regular kind of onsen and more of the high end kind. the food was original and tasteful (both evening and breakfast) both the indoor and the outside bath were beautiful and the staff was speaking good english.
If you are tall, notify them, they had to change my Kimono since they did not expect me to be this tall (over 178cm you should probably tell them).
This is what you can call a hidden gem! Great location, beautifully refurbished Japanese style rooms including a bath/shower and sitting space “with a view” of the surroundings. Both the inside and outside onsen are nice and clean. The welcoming and all over service of the staff is warm and very friendly. We fully enjoyed the served meals, all super tasty, nicely presented and of course all homemade!
This is a very traditional Japanese house, and so if that's the experience you're after, then this is the place for you.
It's a little out the way and can take a while to get there on foot, but the quiet area is very peaceful.
The beds were comfortable, the dorms had privacy curtains on each bed.
There was an honesty box with a number of snacks and drinks available if you needed food.
We came to Japan 10 years ago and had an excellent time. This time was even better and my family agrees that the Iya Ryokan was the best place we have stayed in Japan. We love the woman who showed us around, chatted with us, and served amazing breakfasts and dinners. We wanted to take her with us! Such a beautiful location.
Stayed 3 nights unfortunately the cafe was closed due to a private party on the first night and closed on Monday. But the night we did eat there it was good.
Spacious Japanese style room and very good shared showers and toilets.
