The Former Tokushima Castle

Favorite thing: Along with most of the rest of Tokushima, the castle was reduced to matchsticks and gravel during the war, but unlike the city, has not been rebuilt. They have, however, restored the gates. The gates are the focal point for a civic park of modest size, and the gates are of some interest.

Fondest memory: I really think the best memory I have of Tokushima is just the sense of being such a conspicuous foreigner. Unlike Europe and even Latin America, there is no way I "could" be from Japan. I wanted to go somewhere very very different, and Tokushima really fit that bill!

Tokushima

 We visited Tokushima in order to see what the fuss was all about, and it was an enjoyable evening. Plenty of fun and excitement, and plenty of opportunity to imbibe as well.
