Try the Traditional Awa Washi Hand-Papermaking Experience Passed Down from the Edo Period
About this spot
A museum that preserves the traditions of Awa washi (Japanese paper), said to have a history of over 1,300 years, with an attached workshop where you can actually experience papermaking. The process of making paper by gently shaking a wooden frame on the water's surface seems simple but is quite intricate. Your finished washi paper can be dried and taken home right away. The museum displays historic washi paper products and colorful handicrafts made from washi, offering a chance to appreciate the depth of this traditional craft.

Name: 吉野川市阿波踊り大会
Date & time: 8/16 (Sun) 18:00–21:30
Venue: 吉野川市・JR鴨島駅前中央通り
吉野川のほとりに広がる吉野川市で、8月16日の1日だけ開催される阿波踊り大会です。会場となるJR鴨島駅前中央通りには18時から21時半にかけて地元の連が集まり、鉦と太鼓のお囃子に乗って踊りを披露します。徳島市や鳴門市の大規模な演舞場とは違い、こぢんまりとした通りで開催されるため、踊り手との距離が近く、子どもたちも自然と手拍子や掛け声に参加したくなる温かな雰囲気が魅力です。日中に藤井寺や川島城で歴史に触れた後だからこそ、夜の踊りの熱気がより印象深く感じられます。
Tips
会場周辺は当日交通規制がかかることがあります。夜間は駅前以外の道が暗くなる箇所もあるので、懐中電灯があると安心です。荒天時の開催可否は最新の案内で確認しましょう。
Tips
Pre-reservation for the papermaking experience is recommended. The experience takes 30-40 minutes. Since the paper takes time to dry, it's wise to check if you can have it sent to you later.
Best time to visit
Takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. The afternoon is relatively less crowded, making the experience smoother.
