I went to "Live Fish Cuisine Binbiya" in Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture! This delicious seafood restaurant is open from 9am to 3:30pm (8:30pm on weekends). I ordered the "Sea Bream Sashimi Set Meal" and was amazed at how thick and chewy each piece of sea bream was! It also came with miso soup filled with Naruto wakame seaweed, a specialty of Naruto City, and vinegared seaweed, so you'll be full. It's right next to the sea, so you can see it from inside the restaurant, making it the perfect place for lunch on a drive date! #Recommended for Dates

Iya is one of the "Three Great Unexplored Regions of Japan". The Iya Valley stretches for about 20km, and you can enjoy beautiful scenery. It is a popular tourist spot that attracts many tourists every year. In particular, we would like to recommend the "Iya Kazura Bridge", a famous tourist spot in Iya! It is a very primitive and mysterious bridge woven from a plant called Shirakuchikazura, and is replaced every three years. It is designated as an Important Tangible Folk Cultural Property and is also one of the "Three Strange Bridges of Japan". Crossing the bridge is quite thrilling, but you will surely be soothed by the cool sound of the water and the negative ions.

Japanese art museums you should visit before you die🎨 Otsuka Museum of Art . A museum that has masterpieces from all over the world. They are not original paintings, but they are all burned onto art ceramic panels using special techniques, so they will not fade no matter how much time passes😌 Of course, they are faithfully reproduced. . And they are all full-size! Even if you don't go abroad, you can feel like you're traveling abroad by going to Tokushima❤︎ . There is a wonderful passage in the words of the first director of the museum. "We would be happy if you would look closely at these paintings, actually appreciate the paintings here when you are a university student, and then see the real paintings on your honeymoon abroad in the future." . Go to the Otsuka Museum of Art, find a piece you like, and go see it in person. I can't wait for the day I can go abroad soon😋 . By the way, the photo in this post is a mural called the Sistine Hall. It's in Vatican City 🇻🇦 It's called an environmental exhibition, and the atmosphere of the chapel is reproduced exactly as it is, so there's a very solemn atmosphere 😌 #museum #themepark #usefultraveltips#greatviews

#Osaka Transportation Guide From Osaka to Tokushima, the express bus is the most convenient and economical option. The journey takes about 2.5 hours, and the one-way fare is about 3,280-4,100 yen. It is recommended to take the "Awa Express Osaka", which departs from Osaka Station or Namba and goes directly to Tokushima Station via Awaji Island. There are frequent flights and no transfers. Another option is the Nankai Ferry, which takes about 2 hours from Wakayama Port to Tokushima Port and costs about 2,000 yen. It is suitable for travelers who want to experience the scenery of the sea. From Kansai Airport, there is a direct express bus to Tokushima, which takes about 2 hours and 45 minutes. If you choose the train, you need to transfer in Okayama, which takes a long time and costs more. It is recommended to choose a bus or ferry according to the itinerary, taking into account time and budget! #Osaka #Tokushima #Traffic Guide #High-speed Bus #Nankai Ferry

🇯🇵 [3 nights 4 days Tokushima/Takamatsu travelogue] From a quiet town walk to Busshozan Onsen and Kobomachi Yakiniku A short but deep trip to Shikoku, Japan. This time, I started from Tokushima and went on a 3 nights 4 days trip to Takamatsu, following the quiet daily life of Japan. Since it was not a bustling metropolis, it was a time when I could really feel the quiet alleys, slow trains, and warm local atmosphere. ✈️ Immigration & Accommodation Information Departure: Eastar Jet – Incheon → Tokushima Airport Return: Jin Air – Takamatsu Airport → Incheon Accommodation for Days 1-3: JR Hotel Clement Tokushima (Right in front of the station, so the best route!) Accommodation for Days 3-4: Hotel Marine Palace Sanuki (Quiet and clean business hotel) 🗓 Travel itinerary at a glance Date Region Main itinerary Day 1 Tokushima Walking around the city, checking in at JR Hotel Day 2 Tokushima Minamikomatsushimacho train ride & town walk Day 3 Takamatsu Transfer by highway bus → Busshozan Onsen → Kobomachi Yakiniku & Don Quijote duty-free shopping Day 4 Takamatsu Visit Takamatsu Castle and return 🏙 Day 1 – Arrival in Tokushima, first impressions of the city Eastar Jet Arrive at Tokushima Airport by bus! It takes about 30 minutes from the airport to the city center by airport bus. The JR Hotel Clement Tokushima where I checked in is connected to the station, so the route was really convenient. The first day, I started by taking a walk around Tokushima Station and feeling the atmosphere without going far. The small but neat streetscape and quiet atmosphere calmed my mind. 🚃 Day 2 – Minami Komatsushima-cho, a day in the town with a slow country train On the second day, I took a local train to Minami Komatsushima-cho for a short trip. It was such a quiet and peaceful place that just standing on the platform made me feel like I was on vacation. I walked through the alleys while drinking a cup of tea, and the people greeted me warmly. These days, I find this kind of town walk more healing. 🚍 Day 3 – Moving to Takamatsu & Busshozan Onsen, Kobomachi Yakiniku I took an express bus early in the morning to Takamatsu. The bus was spacious and comfortable, so it took about 2 hours in no time. After arriving, I unpacked and headed to Butshozan Onsen. There were both indoor and outdoor baths, so I felt like my fatigue was gone! The hot spring water was soft and had a subtle scent. The yakiniku I had at Kobomachi for dinner was seriously the best. The beef melted in my mouth, the light seasoning, and the simple atmosphere of the store… I definitely want to go back. The end was a must-visit for travelers, Don Quijote duty-free shopping! I filled up on everything from toiletries to snacks and face masks, and I was ready to return home🎁 🏯 Day 4 – Takamatsu Castle & Return On the last day of my trip, I stopped by Takamatsu Castle (Tamamo Park) near my accommodation. I took pictures and took a walk in the quiet castle grounds with the moat, and had a leisurely ending. Returning from Takamatsu Airport to Incheon on Jin Air✈️ It was a short but very fulfilling trip to Shikoku. 🧳 Travel tips Tokushima Airport↔City: Conveniently travel by airport limousine bus (cheap fare) Tokushima → Takamatsu: Approximately 2 hours by highway bus, online reservations available Shopping: Don Quijote Takamatsu is open from 10 AM to late PM, and tax-free checkout is easy Yakiniku: The Kobomachi area is small, but there are some really great restaurants hidden away, so be sure to stop by! 💭 In conclusion If you want to experience a quiet and peaceful Japan, rather than a bustling metropolis, I highly recommend a trip to Tokushima and Takamatsu. I highly recommend this itinerary to those who want to truly experience the ‘quiet charm’ of Japan. Next time, I want to travel all 4 prefectures of Shikoku :) #Travel plan#Overseas travel#Japan travel#trip#foodphotography

Want to delve into traditional Japanese craftsmanship? Then you absolutely can't miss Tokushima's "Ai no Yakata"! This historical museum, opened in 1989, primarily showcases Tokushima's proud traditional indigo dyeing technique, "Awa Ai" ✨. The museum preserves the former residence of the renowned indigo dyeing master, the Okumura family, which was designated as a tangible cultural property of Tokushima Prefecture in 1987 and is still cherished today! The exhibition room displays numerous exquisite indigo-dyed works, allowing visitors to closely admire the intricate craftsmanship and aesthetics of artisans from the past—truly breathtaking 🖼️. The highlight, however, is undoubtedly their "Indigo Dyeing Experience"! You can try dyeing fabrics yourself, bring your own materials to dye, or purchase fabrics on-site to create your masterpiece. Craft a one-of-a-kind indigo-dyed item as a memento of your journey—perfect as a souvenir or keepsake 😳.

This is a performance held every day except for regular holidays at the Awaodori Kaikan~ I went to see the 8pm night performance, and there was explanation of instruments and dances during the performance, small talk with the audience, and even a time to dance together on stage at the end, so I had a lot of fun watching it~ If you are planning a trip to Tokushima, I think you will have fun watching a performance at least onceㅎㅎ Please note that the day and night performances are slightly different~! #Tokushima #Awaodori

It rained on the first day, so I went there on the second day, Wednesday. According to the information on Google Maps, it was closed only on Mondays, but it was closed on Wednesdays as well. Because of that, my plan to take a bus after visiting the museum to match the whirlpool time was messed up, and since the bus stop was long, I walked to Naruto Bridge, which took about 30 minutes? Fortunately, the weather was nice and cool, so the view was nice. However, since I had to go hiking, I was tired and went into Naruto Bridge without worrying about the whirlpools, but since it was not the right time, I came back after seeing the calm sea and the view. Still, the view was nice, so I was satisfied. Haha. Just in case you get messed up like me, go to Naruto Bridge first to match the whirlpool time, and ask the staff if the Otsuka Museum of Art is open, and then go to the museum! #Naruto #NarutoBridge #OtsukaMuseum #Tokushima

Located in Tokushima City, Wada Noya has been insisting on using natural materials for 400 years to make Apot-produced "Saki no-yaki cake". The smoky glutinous rice crust is served with red bean filling, and a cup of pure and rich tea is served. Although there are other branches in the city, the reason I recommend going to the Wada Noya main store is that the store’s four seasons are full of character and only this store is not located in the mall. Visiting in the spring we were able to view the cherry blossoms and the White Silk Falls and the staff were very warm and hospitable, which was a very enjoyable experience. 🕰️Opening hours: Closed on Thursdays, 10:00-17:00, no appointment required 📍Address: , as shown in the picture recommended to go together after visiting the Apo Ball Hall 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: Indoor, there is also a souvenir area 💰Average consumption per person: about 1000yen 💞Reason for recommendation: You can enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea

This time, we spent half a day visiting the Naruto Whirlpools in Tokushima🌀. We purchased a combo ticket for the museum and the Uzunomichi walkway, and the museum staff even gifted us with a postcard. At Uzunomichi, we were lucky to catch the high tide, allowing us to see numerous breathtaking whirlpools right beneath our feet. The entire trip was truly eye-opening. 🕰️ Opening Hours: Check the high tide schedule online for the best experience 📍 Address: Take a bus to Naruto Park Station 💰 Average Cost: Within 900 yen per person 🗓️ Suggested Itinerary: Half-day

This is the Awaodori Kaikan. The admission fee is cheap and you can see great performances. You can also experience it. Let's dance together.

#Spring0yenTrip The Naruto Whirlpools, one of the world's three largest tidal currents, are a spectacular spot representing Tokushima Prefecture! The moment when the huge whirlpools, created by the ebb and flow of the tides in the Naruto Strait, appear before your eyes is breathtaking. If you time it right, you can see whirlpools with a diameter of about 20 meters! There are two ways to view them. One is to board a "Whirlpool Sightseeing Boat" from the sea and see the whirlpools up close. The other is to look down directly from the sea promenade called "Uzu no Michi". The experience of watching the whirlpools from a glass floor is truly thrilling! The best time to see the whirlpools changes depending on the day, so a travel tip is to check the "Uzushio Tide Table" in advance. We especially recommend visiting an hour and a half before or after low tide or high tide! 📍Basic information (check the website for the latest information) ✴︎Address: Narutocho, Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture ✴︎Access: About 15 minutes by car from JR Naruto Station / Right next to the Kobe Awaji Naruto Expressway, Naruto Kita IC ✴︎Prices: Tide boat from 1,800 yen, Uzu no Michi 510 yen ✴︎Opening hours: Tide boat varies depending on the trip, Uzu no Michi 9:00-18:00

First of all, before leaving, I was debating whether to stay 3 nights or 2 nights, and decided on 2 nights, and 2 nights was enough for Tokushima.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ As expected of a small city, they also give Korean tourists a 2-day free bus pass. After visiting the Naruto Whirlpool, which is one of Tokushima's tourist attractions, I just ate delicious food and explored the town. I was quite satisfied. I didn't watch the dance at the hall, because I saw a review that said it was better to watch it on YouTube... It felt like a rural town, but I felt like the city was still big, and everyone was so kind... I recommend Tokushima for 2 nights #Tokushima #JapanTravel

📍 Tokushima Naruto From Osaka to Tokushima Cross the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge to Tokushima In the Setonaikai National Park, you can see the bridge up close, and you can also see whirlpools. It's also a great place to take a break, as you can buy souvenirs and have lunch there. For lunch, we had a sea bream lunch at "Uzunoya". It was a delightful discovery to discover that there are so many ways to enjoy sea bream cuisine. After this, we headed to the Otsuka Museum of Art, so it's also recommended for those who want to go there as well. Please use this as a reference for your trip🔖 #Tokushima #TokushimaTrip #DomesticTrip #Spring0YenTrip

#Domestic Transportation I rode on the "Ai Yoshinogawa Trolley," a tourist train that lets you enjoy Tokushima's nature! It was a valuable experience to enjoy the spectacular scenery along the Yoshino River on the trolley train that runs on the Tokushima Line. 🚂Characteristics and atmosphere of the train As the name suggests, the train is designed with an image of indigo dyeing, giving it a Tokushima feel. As it is a trolley train, there are no windows, so the appeal is that you can enjoy the train journey while feeling the refreshing breeze! The weather was good that day, and the pleasant breeze blew through, which was very pleasant. 🚂View from the train window The Yoshino River flows along the line, and just watching the sparkling water is soothing. In particular, although it is not as rugged as Oboke and Koboke, it is characterized by the gentle beauty of the valley. There are attractive views in every season, with cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and clear air in winter. 🚂Special features and services The train will slow down at the sights along the way, making it perfect for taking photos! The guide will also explain the history and sights along the route, making you feel even more like a tourist. These features are a great way to experience the local culture. 🚂Access information The Ai Yoshinogawa Trolley operates for a limited time and all seats are reserved, so advance reservations are required. Operating area: Awa-Ikeda Station - Tokushima Station (boarding and disembarking possible depending on the section) Main access methods: Awa-Ikeda Station (Departure point) - Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes from Okayama Station by the Limited Express Nanpu - Approximately 1 hour from Takamatsu Station by the Limited Express Nanpu Tokushima Station (Arrival point) - Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes from Osaka or Kobe by express bus - Approximately 1 hour from Takamatsu Station by limited express 🚂 Summary The trolley train was amazing, running in a relaxed atmosphere while feeling the nature and history!

📍Tokushima Prefectural Gokoku Shrine It was founded in 1928 as the "Tokushima Prefectural Shokonsha" at the site of Tokushima Castle (top of Shiroyama Mountain) in Tokushima Central Park, and in the following year, 1931, it was designated by the Minister of the Interior and renamed "Tokushima Prefectural Gokoku Shrine". The shrine building and office were destroyed in the Tokushima Air Raid in July 1945, but in 1958, amid the social situation of postwar chaos, it was rebuilt with support from both the public and private sectors. However, since the site is leased from Tokushima City and is also a historic site and cultural property protection area, development of the road to the shrine is not possible, and in recent years, it has been difficult for the aging bereaved families and other citizens of the prefecture to visit the Shiroyama Mountaintop Shrine. In this situation, in 2000, a philanthropist living in the prefecture donated land for the shrine (Saika-cho, Tokushima City) for relocating the shrine. With heartfelt support from bereaved families, veterans' associations, and many ordinary citizens of the prefecture, the shrine was able to be relocated in the fall of 2003. Since the relocation, in addition to visits by bereaved families and veterans' associations, the number of young people visiting the shrine has increased, for Shinto weddings, shrine visits for newborn babies, car purification, and the first shrine visit of the New Year. In addition, there is a "Daikoku Shrine" on the grounds, which is visited by many people for prayers for matchmaking, recovery from illness, and business prosperity, and the "Large Ema of the Zodiac" dedicated every New Year soothes the hearts of worshippers. #0 Yen Travel February 2025

📍Bonjuru Best value for money! Delicious and affordable Today, I would like to introduce the lunch at Bonjuru, a popular long-established restaurant with a wide variety of menus that are too good to be true. Bonjuru is a restaurant located along National Route 192 in Sako, Tokushima City. There are four types of lunch: three daily (A Lunch, B Lunch, Recommended) and the monthly "Monthly Bonjuru Deluxe." This restaurant will make you "full!" with hearty side dishes and healthy vegetables in a homey atmosphere. The food is also delicious, so it's the best value for money! Not only is it reasonably priced and delicious, but the interior is clean and has a relaxing atmosphere, which is another recommended point. The staff are also friendly, and it's a restaurant that you'll want to visit again soon. #0 yen trip February 2025

📍Sanzokumura Sanzoku Udon is an udon restaurant located on Route 318 heading towards Tonari, Tokushima. There is also an unmanned sales booth in the parking lot, so you can buy vegetables even if you don't eat udon. If you want a large portion, you should order it if you are really confident! It's dangerous if you think it's a normal large portion. Sanzokumura looks like it was renovated from an old house, and it has a lot of charm. There is no pre-prepared food, and the udon is freshly boiled and the tempura is freshly fried. The portions are generous, so you can enjoy delicious udon whenever you come. Please come and visit us. #0yentravelFebruary2025

📍Imo-o Chinese Noodles It's no exaggeration to say that the brown soup, which never changes, soothes your tired heart. It's consistently delicious. As soon as the restaurant opens at 10:30, locals enter. Many people eat it as a substitute for breakfast. The restaurant is almost full after 11:00. You can see how popular it is. 500 yen for Chinese noodles is an incredibly reasonable price in this day and age. The thin noodles are mixed well with the rich brown soup! It's not as thick as it looks and has a refreshing aftertaste, so you can drink up the whole soup! Imo-o is a highly recommended restaurant! #0yentravelFebruary2025
