What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Tokushima or Osaka for August 12 to 15, 2027, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Tokushima's hotels are full a year ahead; many visitors sleep in Osaka or Takamatsu and bus in.
- The festival runs during Obon, the busiest travel week in Japan; book trains and buses early.
- Tokushima airport is 30 minutes by bus from the centre; from Kansai Airport a highway bus reaches Tokushima in about two and a half hours.
