The "Ai Yoshinogawa Torokko," running on the JR Tokushima Line (Yoshinogawa Blue Line), is a sightseeing train themed around Tokushima's traditional culture, "Awa Indigo." You can enjoy your journey along the wind while feeling the flow of the Yoshino River—the symbol of Tokushima—close at hand. The car design features deep indigo colors, and a major attraction is enjoying bento boxes packed with local specialties on board. In the open-air feeling unique to trolley cars, the time spent taking in the beautiful murmuring of the river and idyllic rural landscapes with all five senses is pure luxury. The hospitality of residents and station staff waving warmly along the line is also heart-touching. It is a recommended experiential activity even for non-railway fans to tour Tokushima's nature and culture at a relaxed rhythm.

Miyoshikiku Sake Brewery

Miyoshikiku Sake Brewery in Awa-Ikeda is a sake brewery known for its very unique and modern approach despite being in a traditional brewing town.
