It\u2019s significantly smaller than <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/osaka-to-kyoto-itinerary\/\">Osaka and Kyoto<\/a>, but the food and nightlife scenes are bustling. It\u2019s famous for Tokushima ramen, sudachi (a citrus fruit), sweet potatoes, wakame (seaweed), handmade somen noodles, and more. Oh, and a lot of Shikoku\u2019s main attractions lie outside of Tokushima city\u2019s limits, but still within the boundaries of the scenic Tokushima Prefecture.<\/p>\n<p>I visited Tokushima in winter and fell in love with the city\u2019s vibes and the nearby natural sights. But if you\u2019re vacationing here in August, you\u2019re in luck! Stop by for the Awa-Odori Matsuri, the largest dance festival in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: as New Year is a big holiday in Japan, companies usually give employees up to two weeks off and people return to their hometowns for the holidays. This means lots of places will be closed, especially from around 30 December to 2 January, so plan your vacation accordingly.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_72 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">What to do in Tokushima<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #333333;color:#333333\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #333333;color:#333333\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/what-to-do-in-tokushima-city\/#how-to-get-to-tokushima\" title=\"How to get there\">How to get there<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/what-to-do-in-tokushima-city\/#what-to-do-in-tokushima-city-top-attractions\" title=\"Top attractions\">Top attractions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/what-to-do-in-tokushima-city\/#faqs-about-tokushima\" title=\"FAQs\">FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-get-to-tokushima\"><\/span>How to get to Tokushima<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_313922\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-313922\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-313922 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-japan-view-from-mount-bizan-at-night-900x643.png\" alt=\"tokushima japan | view from mount bizan at night\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-japan-view-from-mount-bizan-at-night-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-japan-view-from-mount-bizan-at-night-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-japan-view-from-mount-bizan-at-night.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-313922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View from Mount Bizan at night.

This huge suspension bridge is built across the Naruto Strait, connecting Awaji Island to Shikoku.

Photography: Rachel Teo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Like many Japanese cities, Tokushima has a castle, too. After the unification of Japan, in the post-samurai period, the Meiji Government ordered the destruction of most castles all over Japan, sparing only some as historical or cultural monuments.<\/p>\n<p>Tokushima Castle\u2019s building materials were distributed for the construction of other buildings and the castle grounds were renovated before they reopened to the public as a garden-park. Artefacts from the interior of the former castle are also exhibited at the Tokushima Castle Museum, and the area features placards and monuments relating to the history of Tokushima.<\/p>\n<p>Some sections of the castle\u2019s moat remain, filled with various kinds of koi fish. The castle park is a great place to spot Japanese shorebirds, including blue herons, cormorants, and kamo (Japanese duck). The gardens are fairly large, and with excellent weather, it makes for a peaceful day out!<\/p>\n<h3>Sail to the Naruto Whirlpools<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_313924\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-313924\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-313924 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/what-to-do-in-tokushima-ferry-to-naruto-whirlpools-900x643.png\" alt=\"what to do in tokushima | ferry to naruto whirlpools\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/what-to-do-in-tokushima-ferry-to-naruto-whirlpools-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/what-to-do-in-tokushima-ferry-to-naruto-whirlpools-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/what-to-do-in-tokushima-ferry-to-naruto-whirlpools.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-313924\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Naruto Wonder, a whirlpool sightseeing ferry. Photography: Rachel Teo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the second day of my visit, we drove from Tokushima City to Naruto City, near Awaji Island, to see the Naruto Whirlpools &#8211; something that\u2019s on my bucket list!<\/p>\n<p>At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uzusio.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Uzushio Sightseeing Cruise Terminal<\/a>, we got tickets for the best whirlpool observing time, right around 1.30 pm. While ferry rides are available throughout the day, the \u201cbest time\u201d to observe the famous Naruto whirlpools corresponds to when the currents in the straits are at their strongest (and the sightseeing crowds are usually at their fullest). Tip: check the peak times online before you go so you\u2019re well prepared.<\/p>\n<p>Once you board the boat, it heads towards the Onaruto Bridge so you can witness the whirlpools with your own eyes. And what a sight it is! As water from the Pacific Ocean rushes into the Seto Inland Sea, the opposing currents running across the narrow Naruto Straits cause numerous whirlpools to appear. The vortexes only last for a few seconds, but the sound of water gurgling is an intense and exhilarating experience.<\/p>\n<p>The water in this strait has the fastest-flowing current in Japan and the fourth fastest in the world. Fun fact: the whirlpools are the inspiration for the narutomaki fishcakes found in many types of instant ramen, as well as the popular anime Naruto!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_313923\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-313923\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-313923 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/what-to-do-in-tokushima-naturo-whirlpools-900x643.png\" alt=\"what to do in tokushima | naturo whirlpools\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/what-to-do-in-tokushima-naturo-whirlpools-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/what-to-do-in-tokushima-naturo-whirlpools-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/what-to-do-in-tokushima-naturo-whirlpools.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-313923\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Naruto whirlpools, as seen from a whirlpool ferry.

Photography: Rachel Teo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Having heard about the Iya Valley &#8211; and the famous bridge made entirely of vines &#8211; I decided to check it out. It\u2019s famous for its beautiful but treacherous mountain ranges, and because of its relative remoteness, it was once a hideout for samurai who were cast into exile.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, handmade vine bridges were the only way to cross the deep mountain gorges of Shikoku \u2014 and when pursued, a fleeing samurai could cut the vines to escape capture by his enemies. All this history is preserved in these vine bridges that traverse certain rivers in Tokushima Prefecture to this day.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, the vine bridges are secured with steel suspension cables, and the vines only serve as a visual representation of how they used to be \u2014 but the experience is still a true test of your courage! The gaps between the wooden slats that form the \u201cfloor\u201d of the bridge are fairly wide, so take caution if you want to avoid dropping small objects into the fast-flowing river below.<\/p>\n<p>Across the bridge in the Iya Valley sits a waterfall with a 50m cascade called the Biwa Waterfall. It was a natural source of drinking water for many fleeing samurai warriors, who would play their biwa flutes in remembrance of their old homes in Kyoto. The rocks in the nearby river are uniquely blue-green, giving an interesting contrast to the glassy, emerald-green waters of the river.<\/p>\n<p>Close to the Visitor Centre, you\u2019ll find small shops that sell grilled food items on skewers and drinks. Tip: this region of Shikoku is known for ginger, so go ahead and try the candied ginger, hot ginger drinks, and other tasty food items here.<\/p>\n<h3>Go white-water rafting or hop on river cruises<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_313921\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-313921\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-313921 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-city-iya-valley-water-sports-900x643.png\" alt=\"tokushima city | iya valley water sports\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-city-iya-valley-water-sports-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-city-iya-valley-water-sports-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-city-iya-valley-water-sports.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-313921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Rachel Teo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Iya Valley is also known for its summer water sports &#8211; in particular, white-water rafting down the rapids in the gorge.

There are three kinds of broth: brown (seasoned with soy sauce), yellow (made with a mixture of pork, chicken, and vegetable stock), and white (similar to tonkotsu-style broth, made from pork bones and marrow).<\/p>\n<p>Brown broth is the most common type you\u2019ll see in Tokushima, and it\u2019s traditionally served piping hot with a raw egg on top. I loved how the soup became creamier when the egg was mixed in. Tip: the best Tokushima ramen is believed to be from <a href=\"https:\/\/ramen-todai.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ramen Todai<\/a>, so add that to your bucket list!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_313918\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-313918\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-313918 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-city-japan-fish-and-mochi-900x643.png\" alt=\"tokushima city japan fish and mochi\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-city-japan-fish-and-mochi-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-city-japan-fish-and-mochi-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tokushima-city-japan-fish-and-mochi.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-313918\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salt-baked ayu fish and miso-baked mochi on skewers.

Undertaking the seven-hour drive via the highway is possible, but the tolls are very pricey. Instead, I recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kotobus-express.jp\/en\/timetable\/tokyo\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">overnight buses<\/a> from Tokyo (JR Tokyo Bus Station, Tokyo Disneyland, or Shinjuku Bus Terminal) to Tokushima Station. The ride takes about eight hours, and prices start from \u00a57,700 (approx $68) from Tokyo to Tokushima.<\/p>\n<p>Tokushima also has a domestic airport and it\u2019s relatively easy to get there in 1.5 hours via domestic flights by ANA Airlines or Japan Airlines. A round trip costs around \u00a523,400 (approx $207), and the bus from the airport to the city centre costs about \u00a5440 (approx $4).<\/p>\n<h3>How long should I spend in Tokushima?<\/h3>\n<p>If nature, outdoor attractions, and water sports appeal to you, you should definitely visit Tokushima! Three to four days will make for a jam-packed holiday (including travel days), so allow yourself about five to six days for a more leisurely, relaxing vacation.<\/p>\n<h3>Should I rent a car and how much will it cost?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s easier to get around Tokushima with a car, and you can easily stay at lovely ryokans around the beautiful Iya Valley, too. If you\u2019re flying in, there are car rental services conveniently located at Tokushima Airport: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nipponrentacar.co.jp\/shop\/area\/tokushima\/tokushimaair.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Nippon Rent-A-Car<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.budget-shikoku.com\/locations\/186\" rel=\"nofollow\">Budget Car Rental<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/rent.toyota.co.jp\/rakuraku\/step1.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Toyota Car Rental<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/rentacar.carlifestadium.com\/shop\/index\/?office_id=2029\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kasuta Rental<\/a>. The starting price on average is \u00a57,500 (approx $66) per day. If you\u2019re taking a bus, there are two rental companies near Tokushima Station and many options in Tokushima city.<\/p>\n<p>Tokushima is a fun escape from the hustle and bustle of Japanese metropolitan city life. It&#8217;s rich in nature, tranquil, beautiful, and undeniably better explored by car &#8211; I\u2019d totally recommend visiting it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Situated on Shikoku, Tokushima is the smallest of the four main islands of Japan and the capital city of Tokushima Prefecture.
