Hotel Iya Onsen clings to the cliffs of the misty Iya Valley. Guests ride a private 42-degree incline cable car 170 metres down the gorge to open-air riverside onsen. Miyoshi, Tokushima. The hotel is up top. The water is down in the river mist. That descent is the stay. Rooms sit on the rim of the valley while the baths sit on the gorge floor, so the stay is a descent by cable car into the river mist.
