Tokushima: A Rainy Day Museum Walk Through the Culture Forest and Jōrokuju Temple
A museum-hopping course centered on Tokushima's Culture Forest Comprehensive Park—a place best enjoyed slowly on rainy days. With a museum, memorial museum, and museum of modern art clustered on a green hill, covered connecting passageways allow you to move between them, making it easy to spend a full day here with minimal need for an umbrella. The Prefectural Museum traces Awa's nature and history; the Torii Ryūzō Memorial Museum reveals the footsteps of an archaeologist who walked the world; and the Museum of Modern Art invites quiet contemplation with its artworks. The day culminates at Jōrokuju Temple, called 'the Hōryūji of Awa'—its rain-soaked halls and hushed grounds reveal a beauty found only on rainy days. Perfect for curious adults seeking intellectual stimulation and children eager to learn.
