    What do you know about Tokushima? Awa Odori (dance), the Naruto whirlpools, citrus Sudachi… Probably these are the only things you would think of. Tokushima has been ranked as 2nd from the bottom in “the most attractive prefectures in Japan.” The number of guests who stayed at accommodations in Tokushima prefecture was the lowest in Japan. However, it was unpopular Tokushima that caught my heart. It was love at first sight when I saw one of Tokushima’s small mountain towns, Kamikatsu and I moved there all the way from Tokyo. Lately, an increasing number of people have been moving into the countryside areas around Tokushima like me. Why was I so attracted to Kamikatsu? Because this extremely isolated small mountain town, of which even Japanese people rarely know the name, has been doing unexpected cutting-edge work in community revitalization and the elimination of waste. In this article, I would like to show you the attractiveness of Kamikatsu, which changed my life. Written by Keisuke Niki (visual creator)
