Hata Go-taki (Five Falls of Hata), located in Hata-cho slightly away from Tokushima City's center, is the collective name for five unique waterfalls appearing deep in the forest. Featuring Metaki, Otaki, Fudo-daki, Nunobiki-daki, and Zao-daki, you can enjoy trekking to tour these water sculptures while walking the promenade. Especially "Fudo-daki" is a sacred site with Fudo Myo-o enshrined in the rock wall, where the waterfall sound and cool air in silence purify the soul. Completely separated from city hustle, this place is truly a hidden gem. Seasonal beauty in fresh green or autumn foliage is spectacular, and you can immerse yourself in a quiet, "Zen"-like world woven by mossy rocks and clear streams under filtered sunlight. Perfect for those wanting to walk at their own pace and feel deep mountain energy.

The feeling of freshness after removing worldly desires and emerging safely is incomparable. The grounds offer spectacular views of the mountains, with a divine atmosphere prevailing. It is highly supported...

Mt. Bizan

Mt. Bizan, towering in the center of Tokushima City, is a symbol of the city and was even composed in the Man'yoshu poetry. It was named because it appears shaped like an "eyebrow" (bi) from any direction. You can reach the summit in about 6 minutes by ropeway while enjoying an aerial walk, and from the observatory, a magnificent panorama stretches across Tokushima City, Awaji Island on clear days, and as far as Wakayama. The night view is especially praised as one of Shikoku's best, with the twinkling city lights appearing very romantic. The summit park features a kaleidoscope-like monument...
