Tokushima Hidden Gems

Puerta oriental de Shikoku, donde los remolinos de Naruto giran entre los más grandes del mundo. El festival Awa Odori de agosto es la danza más frenética de Japón. El puente de lianas de Iya cuelga sobre un desfiladero vertiginoso, y el Museo Otsuka reproduce obras maestras del arte universal en cerámica.

9 spots

Valles de montaña cruzados por puentes de enredaderas, un estrecho plagado de remolinos y el festival de danza más famoso de Japón.

Clima y mejor temporada

Cálido y lluvioso, con exposición a tifones a finales de verano; el valle de Iya es más fresco y recibe algo de nieve. Agosto para el Awa Odori.
