Introducing Tokushima

Flanked by forest-covered mountains and centred on a palm tree–lined promenade, the bustling modern city of Tokushima is best known for its annual Awa-odori festival in August. Tokushima also boasts a number of interesting attractions, and is a convenient base for exploring the nearby Naruto whirlpools. To most o-henrō, however, Tokushima serves as the gateway to the island, and as the jumping-off point for the first group of temples.
