Tokushima
Tokushima
City Overview
The Uzu tide, which can be as much as 20m in diameter, is a symbol of the Naruto Strait. The view of Meishan, which looks like an eyebrow from anywhere, is representative of Tokushima. There are valleys such as Iya Gorge, known as unexplored areas, and Oboke-Koboke-Koboke in the mountains that continue to Kenzan. The Kazura Bridge in Iya, which is braided using kudzu, and the Funakuri in Oboke Gorge, are thrilling. Awa Odori, a traditional performing art originating in Tokushima Prefecture, is a summer style poem with a history of 400 years. A specialty, Tokushima ramen, is also recommended.
