Yokai Yashiki (Monster and Stone Museum)

姫田邦義 via Google Maps

Perched high above the Yoshino River in Tokushima's rugged Iya Valley, Yokai Yashiki plunges visitors into the mysterious realm of traditional Japanese spirits and earth science. The ground floor brings regional folklore to life with handcrafted papier-mâché creatures, monster-sighting maps, and an eerie walkthrough tunnel populated by mythical demons. Head to the second floor to explore the valley's geological history, complete with radiant fluorescent gems and rare meteorite fragments. Cap off your visit by browsing quirky yokai-themed keepsakes and local Tokushima specialties at the on-site gift shop.
