Mt. Bizan Summit Stage (only during this festival in Autumn)
Live performances and talk shows by popular voice-actors will be held on a special stage set up on the summit of Mt. Bizan, a symbol of Tokushima. Let’s head for the Mt. Bizan summit while listening to the ropeway guidance by popular voice actors, exclusive to Machi Asobi!
Shinmachi Boardwalk
Lined with a variety of stalls, including those by anime-related manufacturers, this boardwalk will be host to spontaneous autograph sessions, sales of limited edition merchandise, and talk shows!
In a sense, this might best stand for what “Machi★Asobi" is all about.
Under the Bridge Museums (only during spring)

Tokushima Gourmet Hunt (only during autumn)
Restaurants participating in the "Tokushima Gourmet Hunt" will provide special Machi Asobi anime postcards when you order their Machi Asobi feature menu items and recommended items. So let’s eat up all the “Machi” gourmet dishes of Tokushima.
Itasha Car Show
