Families can utilize complimentary rentals for beach umbrellas and floaties, while children receive specific perks including fireworks and unlimited kakigori (shaved ice).

Night Pools and Cultural Immersion

From July 1, the resort introduces a night pool, allowing guests to swim under the stars and view the “Moon Road”—a lunar reflection on the Naruto sea. Indoors, the “Awa-no-Kuni” space recreates a retro atmosphere where visitors can participate in ennichi (traditional fair games), try Awa Indigo dyeing, or explore Otani ware pottery. Each evening, excluding mid-August, the resort hosts live Awa Odori dance performances, a centerpiece of Tokushima’s cultural identity.

The resort features 15 distinct room types, including themed rooms dedicated to Awa Indigo and Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. Dining is centered on local ingredients, with five restaurants serving Naruto sea bream and Awa vegetables through buffet, charcoal grill, or French kaiseki (multi-course) formats. The property’s natural onsen (hot spring) baths offer panoramic views of the sunrise over the Seto Inland Sea.
