Budget Accomodation in Tokushima

I am interested in going to the Awa Odori festival in Tokushima on the night of August 15th.

I am a student and am looking for a relatively cheap accommodation for that night. Can anyone recommend hostels or other possible budget accommodations in the Tokushima area? Also, has anyone went to Awa Odori and have any general feedback and recommendations for the festival?

Thanks!

Tokushima is probably booked out for several months already for the days of the Awa Odori. Your best bet to find an accommodation is to try to get a travel package, which includes transportation with hotel, through a travel agent.

The festival gets very high ratings from japan-guide.com users:

Have you tried the Youth Hostel at Tokushima?
