Awagin Bizan Ropeway connects Mount Bizan-the symbol of Tokushima City, celebrated in the Manyoshu poem “Like an eyebrow, the Awa mountain appears amid the clouds”-with the Awa Odori Kaikan in the city center. The ropeway offers an approximately 6-minute aerial ride to the summit at an elevation of 290 meters.
From the gondola windows, passengers can enjoy close-up views of the seasons-cherry blossoms in spring, vibrant foliage in autumn-along with sweeping vistas over Tokushima City.
Even more spectacular scenery awaits at the summit station. From here, you can look out over the majestic Yoshino River (often called Shikoku Saburo), the Asan Mountains, and beyond to the Naruto Strait and Awaji Island. On clear days, the view stretches as far as the Kii Peninsula.
Mount Bizan is renowned for its night views, selected among Japan’s Top 100 Night Views, and for its moonlit scenery, chosen as one of the 100 Best Moon Viewing Spots in Japan. If you visit between April and the end of October, when the ropeway operates until 9:00 p.m., taking an evening ride is highly recommended to experience the city lights after sunset.
