One of Japan's three major Bon Odori · The state of Tokushima city boiling for Awaodori Various

From today to August 15, in Tokushima City "Awaodori"Will be made. A song called "yoshiko no" is famous for "fool you see in dancing fool, damn dangle if same fault", people who visit Tokushima in this 4 days against Tokushima City, whereas the population of Tokushima City is about 260,000 The number is over 1 million, its size is quite good. Tourists are, of course, a big event that people in Tokushima prefecture are also looking forward to.

According to such an event, this year alsoThe original Awa Odori fan of "Illustration of the sky" illustration is soldI heard that, I went to Tokushima at once.

Details are as below.
This is the Tokushima station. I think that Sogo is visible on the left and you can see that it is the center of the town, but there is a sign of "Motomachi Performance Center" there.



The Motomachi performance area located at the foot of the pedestrian overpass, and the Bizan is where you can see it far.


By the way, this pedestrian overpass will be closed from 17:50 to 23:00.


People who see dancing from the top of the pedestrian bridge are not dangerous if they are not closed. Certainly, it seems to be crowded because it is a well-visible place.



As soon as I walk a little way from the Motomachi Performance Center towards Mount Bashan, "Shincho-bashi Acting Lot" is.


Because the performance hall of Shintomachi bridge is a free performance hall, the banquet room is three seats free seat.


Dances are held from 18 o'clock to 22:30, but people were lined up from noon to take a good seat.


Arriving at Higashi Shinmachi beside Shincho-bashi performance hall.


Sako kindergarten "Suizoron Ren" was gathered. That's a nice name.




This is "Shinmachihashi Minami dance stage". Unlike the performance hall, the place where the dancer and the visitor become large and small circles, the dancer changes steadily and dances in succession. The style of the current playground has been established since the number of tourists has increased in the last 30 years, and it seems that it was a style combining circles like the dance stage in the past.



Shinmachi River is also Awa dance color perfectly.


"Banbai Beach Activities" in a fee performance area located near Shinmachi-bashi and Motomachi's performance area.


Seats are divided into four types: S designated seat, A designated seat, B designated seat, C free seat.




It's like a wall as seen from the side.



No dangerous substances are brought in the performance hall, fire is prohibited, no smoking, pets are also prohibited.


This is "Binnomoto Town Activities".



The performance hall is set up around the town.


On August 12th, as the typhoon passed the day before, it was a scorching hot day with a scintillation.

I thought that it might be cooler for a while, and I tried aboard a ship. Bizan seen from the pier.



Shinmachi River waterfront park. Stalls such as castella stand side by side.

I looked back after I passed Shintomachi Bridge.


On the right side of the direction of travel, we saw the Bibai Beach Activities place just before.

As the ship further movesTokushima Central ParkThere was a crowd of people.



This place is not a performance hall but apparently some sort of acting was performing and it seemed that the cameramen were shooting it.

Mr. Funato served and I could see it carefully from the river side.






Before,Machi ★ Assortment 3WhenBridge under the bridgeI got on this ship, but the time to ride was different so the water level was high and the distance to the bridge was quite close. Perhaps when you ride at this water level you probably arrived at the illustration under the bridge. However, it is a distance unsuitable for shooting ... ....


A statue of Awa Odori where I got up from the ship. In addition to this you can see statues of a similar dancer everywhere in the town.


This is one of the charged feast stations, "Minamiuchi-cho Acting Lot".


We accept orders at other playgrounds, but it seems that the prestigious ranking of this acting hall is the famous series and the talent succession.


The interior is slightly curved.


Viewed from the river side. It seems to be difficult to see the dance from the ship.


At the intersection of Motomachi, I found a group movement of Odoriko. There are people in the streets here and there.






It is good to follow Odoriko-san, but I will return to buying a fan which is the original purpose. this isAwaodori-kaikanThe state of the fan of sales at.


I came to buy a "fan boundary" fan in 2009When I was casually casually buying it, I was able to purchase it, but this time I had a queue. After this, there are talks that 100 bottles were sold in 10 minutes from the start of sales ....


Then moved to Potpo Street.


Animate Tokushima store.


It seems that we accepted the reservation from 6th to 11th here.


We also set up a special counter properly for sale on that day as well.


This isNankai Books 2 store. In the same way, we made reservation reception and we were selling the same day. The figure of people who purchase at the time of opening at 10 o'clock as well.


Next to the storeAwaodori in "Toho Project" and "Boundary of the Sky"It was overhanging.


As animate and Nankai Books are shops dealing with animation · game products, it is natural that there are posters, but I saw a little about being overflowed to other shops. This is "Food" near the Awaodori Kaikan.


Bakery near Marutamachi "Maruipan"


Clothing store "Izumiya" beside Binnomoto Town Performance Center


I feel that the lively feeling of the "Toho Project" poster matches well with the surrounding Awa Odori Goods.


"Wood Ibisu" which sells burgers of Takushima and the two countries. I have to eat the burger here once ....


There are two types of posters in "Ryokan Hayashi Annex".


Perhaps it's interesting to try to find out where the posters are located.

· Bonus
Limited express Muro passing the railroad crossing on the western side of Tokushima station. Tokushima Prefecture is the only prefecture in Japan where the "train" is not running.



In the next article, I will take a closer look at what kind of item "buy" purchased.
