Tokushima

Located at the confluence of the Yoshino River, Tokushima extends across 191 square kilometers with Mount Bizan rising from its center point.

Initially established in 1889 as Japan's tenth largest city, Tokushima developed around its castle, which served as the headquarters of the Hachisuka clan.

The Awa Odori Festival in August transforms the streets into a performance space where dancers move to traditional rhythms in front of 1.2 million spectators.

Tokushima Airport connects to Tokyo with hourly flights, while the city maintains an efficient network of trains and buses for local transportation.

The Hyotanjima river tour circuits the city center through waterways for thirty minutes, offering perspectives of urban structures from water level.
