Hinoji Valley
"A valley located in Iya, counted as one of three most secluded areas in Japan. ""Hinoji"" means ""the character of hi"" and is derived from the section of the beautiful Iya River which flows here in the shape of the Japanese hiragana character ""hi."" Also a renowned destination for viewing fall foliage, in autumn the entire valley, from the floor to the top of the surrounding peaks, becomes covered in spectacular color. Be sure to check out the Mannekin Pis statue and the ""Kazurabashi Yumebutai"" tourist facility."
