Awa Odori Festival: Spirited Away in Tokushima
The Awa Odori is a huge dance festival that takes over Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture, for 4 days in early August. It features some 100,000 fired-up dancers and attracts as many as 1.3 million spectators from home and abroad. Our traveler B.T. watches the dancing on the 1st day. On the 2nd, he learns a few steps and chorus before jumping into the frenzied dancing himself. He also takes a side trip to Wakimachi, an old town near Tokushima City, where he enjoys its traditional townscape and experiences indigo dyeing. At the end of his journey, he heads out by boat to observe giant tidal whirlpools.
