Hyōtanjima, River island in Tokushima, Japan

The island consists of a central area in Tokushima City, positioned between the Shinmachi and Suketo Rivers, with an elevation of 61.7 meters.

Dating back to the early 1900s, Hyōtanjima developed alongside Tokushima City, becoming an integral part of the urban river system that includes 138 waterways.

The Shinmachi River Preservation Association leads initiatives to maintain water quality and organize boat tours, supporting the local maritime heritage.

Visitors can take a 30-minute boat tour from Ryogoku Bridge, costing 400 yen for adults and 200 yen for children, with departures every 40 minutes.

The boat tours provide views of Tokushima Castle ruins on Shiroyama Mountain, where fish now thrive in the rehabilitated river ecosystem.
