Kaiyō lies along the Pacific coast in southeastern Tokushima Prefecture, where forested slopes of Shikoku descend towards an indented shoreline. Formed in 2006 through the merger of Kaifu, Kainan and Shishikui, the town brings together fishing communities and beaches open to Pacific swells; Shishikui is known as a surf spot. A distinctive local connection is the Asa Coast Railway’s dual-mode vehicle service, whose vehicles run on both railway tracks and roads, continuing from Awa-Kainan towards neighbouring Kōchi Prefecture.
