Perched on the dizzying edge of the Nana Magari cliff, the Peeing Boy of Iya Valley stands 200 meters above the churning river below. The quirky bronze monument immortalizes an old rite of passage where local daredevils proved their bravery by relieving themselves over the sheer precipice. Today, it serves as one of Tokushima's most iconic and humorous roadside photo spots, blending dramatic mountain scenery with curious folklore. Visitors can take in sweeping views of the lush, dramatic gorge while admiring this surprisingly fearless little sentinel.
