Enjoy some of Tokushima's most representative sightseeing spots alongside some hidden gems in this walking tour. This half-day tour allows participants to experience Tokushima's shrines, traditional performing arts, an old town area, and historical sweets together with an English speaking guide. ♪ 【Bizan Tenjin Shrine】 After a short walk up a flight of stairs, one is greeted with brilliant red color that adorns the buildings of Tenjin Shrine. Dedicated to the God of Learning, Sugawara no Michizane, this shrine attracts many students hoping for some luck to pass their entrance exams. On the shrine grounds lies a cow statue known as the “Cow of Wisdom”. It’s said that the more you rub it, the more wisdom you will gain! In addition to being a shrine for learning, Tenjin Shrine is also known as a power spot for matchmaking! Near the western area of the shrine lies a large rock that is fondly known as “Himemiya-san” and it is said to be effective for match making, safe pregnancies, and for recovery from sickness.

After this lesson, it’s time for the audience to join in on the fun! Don’t worry if you’re not good at dancing – as they say in Tokushima, “Those who dance are fools. Those who watch are fools. If both are fools, you may as well dance!” 【Tokushima Ramen Lunch】 Enjoy Tokushima's specialty "Tokushima Ramen" for lunch. 【Kinryosui Spring】 The beautifully clear waters of the Kinryosui Spring were once beloved by the lords of the Tokushima Domain in times past.

This sweet, made using the lord’s beloved Kinryosui Spring water, quickly became a hit. More than 400 years later, we can still enjoy the lord’s favorite treat at Wadanoya.

A Purr-fect Kitty Adventure! Tour of Tokushima Cat Spots! 【Guided Tour】
Travel to some of Tokushima's best cat related spots via taxi and together with a guide! 【JF Kitanada Fish Market】 Located right in front of the ocean, JF Kitanada (a seaside station) is famous for its large amount of cat wall art. In the past, the station master was an adorable cat named "Naru", and their successors can be found napping in the office room! In addition to cute cats and wall art, the seaside station also offers plenty of Tokushima products, especially seafood. 【Lunch: Renmaru Cafe】 Naruto City is famous for its lotus roots ("rencon" in Japanese). At Renmaru Cafe, you can enjoy a meal made using plenty of these lotus roots! It's not only healthy, but packed with plenty of flavor. Lunch Options: Lotus Root Gratin or Mixed Zaru Udon Set 【Shironekodo Nostalgic (Cat Goods Variety Store)】 This small shop offers a large variety of cat goods to choose from! There are also plenty of original items available, so it's the perfect place for cat-related souvenirs! 【Ouji Shrine (Shrine of the Cat God)】 Ouji Shrine is affectionately known as "Nekogami-san" ("Cat God" in Japanese). The shrine grounds are full of maneko neko lucky cats, cat ema votive tablets, cat omamori charms, and other interesting cat-related items, such as the "Sasuri Neko", a statue that is said to grant wishes. They also offer goshuin shrine stamps that, of course, feature cute cats. 【プラン内容】 Price (Per Person): 19,000 Yen Necessary Time: Approx. 4 Hours 20 Minutes Tour Days: Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays Minimum Number of Participants: 3 Maximum Number of Participants: 4 ※ Please consult with us for groups of less than 3 or more than 4.
