Tourism EXPO Japan 2025 Aichi/Central Japan

Nishi-Awa / Mt. Tsurugi Yoshinogawa Tourism Area Council
The region of western Tokushima consists of two cities, Mima and Miyoshi, and two towns, Tsurugi and Higashi-Miyoshi.
Cozy hamlets rest on steep mountain slopes; an agricultural landscape of stone-walled fields and farmhouses. The scenery itself echoes the soul of tougenkyo, an earthly paradise.
In Nishi-Awa, this rare system of steep slope agriculture has been passed down from generation to generation. The mountainous land is unsuitable for cultivating rice, so the production of buckwheat (soba), multigrains, millet, mountain tea and seasonal vegetables has thrived. From this unique bounty of local ingredients, simple but flavourful dishes were born, such as sobagome (buckwheat porridge), dekomawashi (skewers with potato, tofu and konnyaku coated in sweet miso), and hirarayaki (fish and vegetables with miso baked on stone). Experience the unique landscapes, food culture and traditions of Nishi-Awa, and meet the friendly locals who will make you feel like a part of the family. The beauty and traditions of the land echo throughout the generations, and endure in the hearts of all who visit.
