Ingrid's International Lounge

Tokushima & the Anan Coast


Filipina Ingrid is Tokushima's go-to girl for expat gossip and all-night karaoke. The lounge is hard to find, tucked among the hostess clubs in the southwest of Akita-machi, but there's nothing duplicitous about this Tokushima travellers' institution. Head here for live music, karaoke or whatever else is on.
