Tokushima Prefectural Cultural Forest Park is a vast park located in Tokushima City, where cultural facilities of Tokushima Prefecture are concentrated. Within the park, there is the Tokushima Prefectural Museum, where you can learn about Tokushima's history, culture, and nature, the Tokushima Prefectural Museum of Modern Art, where you can enjoy special exhibitions and collection exhibitions, and the Tokushima Prefectural Library, which boasts a rich collection of books. Each of these facilities is independent, so you can take your time to explore the areas that interest you. A major advantage is that you can enjoy sightseeing regardless of the weather, as many facilities are indoors, even on rainy days.

The park is surrounded by lush nature, and you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons. There are walking paths, so you can easily walk in nature between visiting the cultural facilities. There is also an outdoor stage and a grassy area, where events are held on holidays and families can be seen enjoying picnics. It is a space where culture and nature blend together, and it is characterized by the fact that you can spend a variety of times throughout the day.

[Hidden gem]
In addition to the buildings of each facility, you can enjoy views of Tokushima city and the Yoshino River from the paths in the back of the park and from places on a slight hill. It is relatively quiet and recommended for when you want to relax and enjoy the scenery.

[Useful concerns]
The park grounds are vast, but each cultural facility is independent, so it will take a lot of time to visit everything carefully. There is no need to force yourself to visit facilities in areas you are not interested in. Also, although the park has a wide range of facilities, there are not many playground equipment for children, so if you are expecting entertainment like an amusement park, you may feel disappointing. It is possible to access it by public transportation, but the number of trains may be limited, so it is practical to check in advance.
