🎃 Draw a “Big Ghost” in Tokushima with GPS Art 👻
Celebrate Halloween in Tokushima with a creative twist! This 10km GPS art course lets you draw a cute “Big Ghost” while exploring the city famous for its vibrant Awa Odori dance festival.
Starting from JR Tokushima Station, the route guides you past Awa-Tomida and Nikenya Stations, Tokushima City Hall, the Awa Odori Kaikan, and the foot of Mount Bizan. Along the way, you’ll discover popular spots such as the Hyotan Island Cruise, Bizan Tenjin Shrine, Inbe Shrine, and Zuigan-ji Temple—each reflecting the city’s deep cultural heritage.
