Tokushima: Day 2

On my second day in Tokushima I began by exploring more of the city on foot.  I found this cute sidewalk garden.

 I found the ruins of Tokushima castle.

 I found a small shrine.

 I walked along the river and saw this interesting stone art.

 I also saw that there was an anime convention in town.  The people were all crowded around the riverside park in costume, taking pictures of eachother.

 I took a boat ride on the river and on the other side of the main section of town I saw I park full of sakura!

 There were many types of trees in Tokushima.

 After the boat ride I wanted to go to the park with the sakura, so I started off walking there.  On the way in the castle moat I passed by these ducks that have a house.

 I also passed by these super busy palm trees.

 I found a pretty park along the way - it had a wonderful smelling magnolia tree!

 The park was so cute!

 I found the sakura!  They were very pink and made a tunnel.

 Here is the train sign of Shikoku.  I like it a lot!

 Mid afternoon it was time to start my 6 hour journey home.  I took the Uzushio and Marine Liner back to Okayama, where I boarded my last shinkansen.

The gnome and I had a good dinner, including sudachi juice.  Sudachi is a type of lime that is very popular in Tokushima.  This trip was an awesome one to end on!
