Tokushima
Tokushima, the capital of Tokushima Prefecture on Shikoku island, sits at the water's edge and markets itself as a "water city," with mountains close by. The city serves as the main transport hub for eastern Shikoku, making it a practical base for the region, though its own roster of attractions is modest — palm-lined boulevards and a lively café and restaurant scene among them.
