Tokushima Prefecture

Tokushima Prefecture is located in the northeastern part of Shikoku and is about a 2-hour drive from Osaka. The Yoshino River, known as one of Japan's most scenic rivers, offers a variety of outdoor activities such as rafting and canoeing. In addition, the Naruto whirlpools, which are some of the largest in the world, can be experienced in their full force and beauty on a sightseeing boat. When it comes to gourmet food in Tokushima, the local specialty dishes using Sudachi citrus and Awaodori chicken are famous. Also, Tokushima Ramen, characterized by its soy-based soup and special roasted pork fillet, is a dish you should definitely try. Awa Odori, indispensable in discussing the history and culture of Tokushima, is one of Japan's three major Bon dances. The annual Awa Odori festival held in August is famous for its passionate dance and powerful drumming. In this way, Tokushima Prefecture is a captivating region where beautiful nature, local gourmet food, and passionate culture merge. Please take this opportunity to visit Tokushima Prefecture!
