Hi all,
I just returned from a short three-day weekend vacation in Tokushima Prefecture (known as Awa during ancient times). Tokushima takes up the southeastern chunk of the island of Shikoku, and is about 2.5 hours away from Matsuyama by highway bus.
Below are pictures from the city itself. Future blog posts will feature pictures and stories from my various day trips outside the city. Downtown Tokushima is actually quite small and can be easily traversed on foot.
The city's main tourist spot is the 280 meter Mount Bizan, whose summit offers an impressive panoramic view of the surrounding city. Another popular stop is the Awa Odori Hall, which educates visitors about the city's famous summertime dance festival.
In general, travelers may initially feel a bit underwhelmed by Tokushima's city center and its relative lack of exciting things to do. Luckily, the prefecture boasts some great day trips and has an abundance of natural scenery to experience as well.
Enjoy the pictures below!
B.E.W
