Präfektur Tokushima

Tokushima Prefecture's Absolute Essentials

Tokushima Prefecture is defined by the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, starting with Ryozen-ji and continuing through numerous Shingon Buddhist sites like the mountain-top Shosan-ji. In Tokushima City, the Awa Odori Kaikan preserves the region’s 400-year-old dance tradition, while the Ōtsuka Museum of Art houses over 1,000 ceramic reproductions of Western masterpieces. Nature highlights include the steep Oboke Gorge and the riverside parks of the capital. This selection covers historical religious sites, cultural institutions, and significant transit hubs across the prefecture.
