Destacados

Explore Wakimachi’s historic “Udatsu” townscape in Mima City, Tokushima, on a guided cycling tour combining history, scenery, and hands-on culture. The tour usually starts and ends at JR Anabuki Station. For guests coming by car, the meeting point can be changed to Ai Land Udatsu parking area. Ride and walk with your guide through Wakimachi, a preserved district lined with white-walled merchant houses and traditional “udatsu” firewalls. The nostalgic streets feel like stepping back into the Edo period, with many photogenic spots along the way. The highlight is an Awa indigo dyeing experience, one of Tokushima’s traditional crafts. Dye your own handkerchief and watch the deep indigo color appear with each step. Your finished piece becomes a one-of-a-kind souvenir to take home. Enjoy a meaningful journey through indigo history, local townscape, and Tokushima craftsmanship.
