Visiting the Awa Odori Kaikan was an unforgettable experience! The live dance performances were full of energy, showcasing the vibrant spirit of Tokushima's famous Awa Odori festival. The dancers were incredible, and I loved that we could even join in and learn some of the moves—it was so much fun!
The museum added depth to the experience, with fascinating displays about the history and cultural significance of the dance. The location at the base of Mount Bizan was perfect, and the ropeway ride offered breathtaking views of Tokushima. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!3 months ago — by Wesley
