Katsuura Town in eastern Tokushima Prefecture lies along the Katsuura River. The town is known as the birthplace of Awa mandarin oranges and is a leading orange producer in the prefecture. The Big Hina Festival of dolls in February draws many visitors. Because dinosaur fossils were found here, the town also promotes itself as a "dinosaur town."
