Awa Jurobe Yashiki
This former residence and puppet-theater complex is one of Tokushima's flagship places to experience Awa ningyo joruri, the prefecture's signature traditional performing art. Daily performances and strong cultural recognition make it a long-established sightseeing stop.
Awa Odori Hall
Year-round performances of Awa Odori — Japan's most energetic traditional dance festival. Originally improvised by drunken celebrants 400 years ago, it evolved into a form so precise that practitioners train for decades.
Iya Valley
Japan's deepest gorge — a remote mountain valley where the Iya River has cut 200m through limestone. Samurai from the defeated Heike clan fled here in 1185 and rebuilt a civilization in the cliffs.
