Tsurugi

Tsurugi occupies long mountain valleys between the Yoshino River and the Shikoku Mountains in western Tokushima Prefecture. Its territory rises southward toward Mount Tsurugi, Shikoku’s second-highest summit at 1,955 metres, placing the town firmly within the island’s rugged interior. The Handa district is associated with Handa sōmen, hand-stretched wheat noodles that are notably thicker than standard sōmen and remain a defining local food. Settlements and cultivated land gather on the more level ground, while forested slopes cover much of the municipality.
