-It is strongly recommended to travel in this area by car. If you get there by train, you'll have a long walk along a noisy road without sidewalks. It is also hard to find entry points for hiking trails without a car. Unfortunately, the nearest car rentals are located quite far away: [[Marugame]], [[Takamatsu]], and [[Tokushima]].

 National Highway 32 winds along the Yoshino River through the pristine valley.  Coming from [[Osaka]], [[Kobe]] or Tokushima, take the expressway and exit at Ikeda. Then follow route 32 towards Kochi for about 20 kilometers to Oboke.

 There's one big reason to visit: the '''rapids''' rushing through the gorge below.  There are observation platforms on the highway and near the train stations if you're content to gaze from a distance, but more daring types will venture down onto the Yoshino River for a sightseeing cruise (&yen;2000 for a one-hour loop), and more adventurous types yet will try their hand at '''white-water rafting''' in the class 4 rapids. The rapids are Japan's biggest and most exciting, with amazing rock formations and crystal clear waters.

 If you survive the experience without developing acute hydrophobia, both Oboke and Koboke have ''onsen'' '''hot springs''' offering more bubbling water to soak in.
