Cultural Festivals. Indigo Dyeing.
On the eastern part of Shikoku Island, at the mouth of the Yoshino River, lies the enchanting town of Tokushima. Sample the unique hues of Awa Indigo, a 400-year-old blue textile said to have antibacterial and moisture retention properties. When you get hungry, prepare for a feast, since Tokushima boasts a wide variety of culinary specialties. Tour Aisai Hiroba, the largest fresh market in Shikoku. There you can sample local flavours like hand-pulled noodles and Sugata sushi (an entire fish stuffed with sushi rice!). Do not miss the Tatsue-ji Temple or the ruins of the Tokushima Castle to get a deeper taste of Shikoku history and culture. Discover flavours, places, people and even yourself at this unique destination in Japan.
