Tokushima City

A Vibrant City of Dancing Summer
Tokushima is a place that has a much slower lifestyle compared to the busy cities of Japan, boasting mouthwatering foodstuffs, a rich cultural history, fun-fuelled activities, and an all-round friendly atmosphere.

Tokushima City, becomes a vibrant explosion of color every summer during its lively Awa Odori Festival. At the base of the ropeway to Mt. Bizan is the Awa Odori Kaikan, an interactive museum dedicated to the Awa Odori Festival , an event which thrusts Tokushima into the national spotlight every August during the Obon holiday season. Known as the "fool's dance," there are exhibits with photos and videos of the festival, and daily performances of Awa-Odori by musicians and dancers from a local dance group that encourages audience participation.

Home to 138 rivers, including the Yoshino River - the largest river on the Shikoku Island - Tokushima City is nicknamed the "Water City". The city's landmark, Mount Bizan, reflects the colorful changes of the seasons. The excitement of the Awa Odori summer festival, and the charm of the local cuisine radition and culture can all be experienced in Tokushima. The more you explore, the more the unity of Tokushima.
