"Dogakuji Temple" Dogakuji Temple is known as a famous spot for wisteria, the designated flower of Ishii Town, and is visited by many people, including pilgrims. Every year from spring to summer, the "Makemake Wind Chime Festival" is held, where about 1,500 wind chimes with wishes written on them decorate the corridors of the temple grounds. The name is a combination of "makemake," which means "overflowing" in Awa dialect, and "maken kenn," which means "lose one's hopes." The wind chimes, which originate from the wind chimes used to ward off evil, are hung here with the meaning that "the overflowing wind chimes will not defeat difficulties." ■Period of event: 2025/4/1-8/31 ■Opening hours: 7:00-17:00 ■Address: 605 Ishii-aza-jonouchi, Ishii-cho, Nanai-gun, Tokushima Prefecture ■Fee: Free ■Parking: No #0 yen trip

Located in Ishii Town, 'café origin' is a renovated traditional house with over 100 years of history. Nestled in a tranquil rural area, the café exudes a relaxed atmosphere with soft lighting. It features a nursing room and a children's area adorned with murals, making it perfect for families. The café offers dishes made with locally grown vegetables and ingredients from Ishii Town. After a meal, you can enjoy the owner's ideal chiffon cake, which is soft and fluffy, topped with vanilla ice cream and strawberry sauce. There are also slightly bitter caramel and brown sugar flavors available.
