Tokushima city is situated at the mouth of the Yoshino River (吉野川 Yoshino-gawa).

Drizzling rain before dawn spoilt my first attempt to take sunrise shots in Japan.

Panoramic view of Tokushima city from top of Mount Bizan.

We just missed the famous Awa Odori (阿波おどり) festival, held yearly from August 12 to 15. With a history of over 400 years, people dance in the streets according to the complex choreography. As the famous proverb says, "The dancing fool and the watching fool are both fools, so why not dance!" .....[Wikitravel]
