What a crowd! Tokushima city has a population of 200,000, but during the 'Awa Dance' period the population soars to over 1 million.

日本人なら誰もが知る徳島の「阿波踊り」だが、この踊り、観光客が準備なしで飛び入り参加できることをみなさんはご存知だろうか? 日本には数々の有名な祭りがあり、どれも見応えのある素晴らしいものだが、観光客はただ指をくわえて見物するのみだ。しかし阿波踊りはちがう。「にわか連」に入れば、誰もが演舞場で踊ることが出来る。衣装も練習も不要、「にわか連」に飛び入り参加し、突然踊りだせる全員参加型の夏祭り、それが阿波踊りなのだ。毎年8月12日～15日に開催される阿波踊り、熱狂のるつぼと化した徳島で、あなたも是非阿波踊りに挑戦してみては如何だろう。「踊るあほうに見るあほう、同じあほなら踊らにゃ損々」だ!
