Tokushima Prefecture, facing the Seto Inland Sea and the Pacific Ocean, is blessed with rich natural resources, including mountains, which occupy around 80 percent of its land, small and large rivers, including Yoshino River, and the Naruto whirlpools, as well as historical and cultural heritage items, including the Awa dance and the Shikoku 88 Temples.
Looking at the industrial structure of this prefecture, which prospered in the past thanks to its aizome (indigo dye) industry and salt industry, we see that the manufacturing industry, mainly chemicals and electrical machinery, has a particularly large share. In addition, the share of the primary industry is relatively large compared with the national average.
