Many visitors think of Tokushima City as nothing more than the gateway to Shikoku Island, but it's also a pleasant city to visit in its own right. There are plenty of peaceful parks to explore, and you can also learn about the art of indigo dyeing at the House of Indigo or visit the Tokushima Modern Art Museum. The city is at its best in August, when the incredible Awa Odori Dance Festival takes place, but you can learn about the history of the festival and watch live dance demonstrations at the Awa Odori Kaikan museum no matter what the time of year.
