About this place
The Awa Odori Hall (阿波おどり会館, Awa Odori Kaikan) is a museum in the city of Tokushima where visitors can learn about Awa Odori, watch displays of the dance and sample local products. It is located at the base of the 280m-high Mount Bizan. The hall also acts as a gateway to neighboring Mount Bizan with the location of a ropeway station on Level five. The building has a gift shop on its ground floor. The museum is on the third floor. Also located in the building is the hall where four daily shows of the Awa Odori are performed. The last of the shows, which begins in the late evening, is slightly more expensive than the others. One unique feature of the performances is the participation of audience members. Until 1990, it was home to the Tokushima Prefectural Art Museum.
