Seems that Shikoku is Awa Odori Crazy (Part 4 - One More)

So I lied about the last Awa Odori post being the last... Oh well, here are some more photographic evidence that Tokushima is Awa Odori crazy. These were all taken at the airport, so if you thought that you might escape the madness by leaving the city center, you are wrong.

Seems that Shikoku is Awa Odori Crazy (Part 3 - Last)

Since I myself am not Awa Odori crazy, this will be the last Awa Odori post. I did not have the opportunity on this visit to see any Awa Odori (dancing) or visit the Awa Odori Kaikan. Those who may more enamored than myself, will probably be let down by this final Awa Odori post of a crosswalk post and the stained glass feature topping it.

In the lobby of our hotel in Tokushima we were greeted by these anime themed Awa Odori posters. I guess I'm not enough of a anime fan to be able to identify the anime in these posters, but I still like the design.

JR Shikoku Diesel to Tokushima

It took me about an hour to realize that the JR Shikoku train to Tokushima was not electric, but diesel. It should have been obvious since there were no overhead lines and it made a pleasant diesel ticking noise. A little research, and it appears that this generation of trains is called the JR Shikoku 1000 series.
