Tokushima
Tokushima Prefecture is located at the eastern end of Shikoku, about 3 hours by car from Osaka. A whirlpool tide occurs due to the large amount of seawater flowing into the Naruto Strait, and you can experience the whirlpool tide. In the central part, Iya gorge is a place as one of the three greatest secrets of Japan. In addition, The Otsuka Museum of Art displays duplicates over 1000 pieces of Western paintings of over 190 art museums in 25 countries created on a ceramic. Must see: Naruro whirlpool, Iya gorge, The Otsuka Museum of Art
