Imagem
A colorful valley lies underneath white clouds. The mountains of central Shikoku have been rich in all kinds of vines. Over the centuries people have built bridges with vines. Legend says that the fleeing warriors of Heike had used vines to build bridges as vine bridges could be easily cut off to prevent the entry of the Genji warriors when they came to the valley in pursuit. The most famous vine bridge is the “Iya no Kazurabashi” with a height of 14 meters. It is also one of the three unusual bridges of Japan. Going deeper into the valley from Iya, in Higashi-iya-sugeoi, there are two vine bridges found side by side. One is called Otokobashi (male bridge) and the smaller one is called Onnabashi (female bridge). The two are commonly called Niju-kazurabashi.

If you are the type of people who hate to travel connected and really like to stay off the air during the holidays, I have bad news: you will need internet all the time in Tokyo. There is no way, Google Maps is essential to create the subway routes, guide your walks and find the addresses. In addition, online translator and online surveys are required practically all the time. If you will follow my advice and go online (seriously, you better stay!), You need to know some peculiarities of the mobile communication market in Japan. First, the country's cellular network frequencies are very different from the ones we have in Brazil. That means there's some chance your cell phone will not accept a Japanese chip. In addition, only Japanese or foreigners with fixed residence are entitled to a mobile phone line. With that, we have only the alternative of renting a 4G chip or router. That's right, in Japan you do not buy a prepaid chip, you rent.ow-to-rent-a-router-wifi-in-japan Ho...
