By making a reservation in advance, you can not only stay overnight, but also enjoy dyeing with wild plants and vines, "plant dyeing." You can experience this regardless of whether you stay overnight or not! I had no idea that such colors could be produced by boiling plants, so it was an eye-opener! lol It's fun to make patterns by tying marbles with rubber bands◎ It's also nice that you can take them home right away after making them 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 ⁡ 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 From the official HHP Sakamoto Miyahira, Katsuura-cho, Katsuura-gun, Tokushima Prefecture⁡ 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #tripdomestictravel #Tokushimaprefecture #tourism

Located in Katsura Town, the Fudo Waterfall can be viewed from the inside out. It is situated within the grounds of Hoshi no Iwaya (Hoshitani Temple). The official name is 'Fudo Waterfall,' but because it can be viewed from behind, it is also known as 'Urami Waterfall.' From inside the waterfall, you can see the back of the waterfall and the statue of Kobo Daishi, as well as the buildings within the Hoshitani Temple grounds. The rock cliff that forms the waterfall is made up of layers of slanted rocks, which is one of the highlights. The area is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery and there are walking paths for easy access.

Katsuura Town has a long-standing tradition of consuming wild game such as wild boar and deer. 'Awa Jibie Cuisine AOKI' is a specialty restaurant located in Katsuura Town that focuses on wild game dishes. Wild boar and deer meat are considered highly nutritious and relatively healthy. The grilled deer meat is particularly suitable for making spicy 'Deer Meat Curry Rice.' Additionally, the restaurant offers Tokushima brand chicken 'Awaodori Chicken' and other creative dishes made with seasonal ingredients.
