Komatsushima, Coastal municipality in eastern Tokushima Prefecture, Japan.

Located in Tokushima Prefecture on Shikoku Island, Komatsushima extends across 45.37 square kilometers along the Kii Channel with mountains bordering its inland regions.

The port settlement gained prominence during the Genpei War when Minamoto no Yoshitsune used it as a landing site for military campaigns against the Heike clan.

The local traditions merge with broader Tokushima Prefecture customs, incorporating festivals, dance performances, and maritime heritage into community celebrations.

The city maintains eleven elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools while offering transportation access through the Mugi railway line and national routes 55 and 195.

Two temples of the Shikoku pilgrimage, Onzan-ji and Tatsue-ji, stand within city boundaries, marking the eighteenth and nineteenth stops on this traditional Buddhist circuit.
