TOURING SPOT
“Awaodori”
It’s the most recognized traditional dance in Japan. Not only in “Tokushima”, but you can also see and experience it in Tokyo. It has been 400 years since it started, and it became one of the most famous traditional performing art. Nowadays, it became known to the world.

“Uzumaki”(Whirlpool)
In “Naruto” city, there is a tour you can see “Uzumaki” from the closest approach. The hero’s full name in the manga “Naruto”, is “Naruto, Uzumaki”. As he has a whirlpool design in his cheek. Maybe his name came from this.
By the way, “Naruto” is my famous manga 🙂

“Tokushima ra-men”
What is different from other ra-men is the taste of the meat.
It uses sweeten pork back ribs which changes the taste of the soup while eating.
