Tokushima Central Park

Tokushima Central Park features preserved castle gates, traditional gardens, walking paths, and open spaces spread across the former castle grounds.

The park originated in 1906 on the site of Tokushima Castle, incorporating remaining structures and gates that survived from the feudal period.

The park serves as a central location during the annual Awa Odori Festival, where traditional dancers perform through the surrounding streets.
