Mt Bizan, Tokushima

Mount Bizan is very close to the center of Tokushima. You can ride the Bizan ropeway up part of the way and get a good view of the town. The ropeway starts inside the Awaodori Kaikan about 15 minutes walk from Tokushima Station.

I have not been up in a cable car for a while. The start was a bit shaky, but it soon was smooth sailing

  • Somehow, I’m always afraid of cable car 🙂 It’s probably the latent tought of ” my life is litarly ON THE LINE here” hah.
    Had a foreign friend that when we went to Cologne totally wanted to ride the extremely long cable car ride over the Rhein river.
    I didn’t calm down for the whole trip as it was very windy and it just kept swinging everywhere – offcourse the touristy friend was LOVING IT. Heh.

    But ! Great pictures here again, as I said yesterday i’m really loving seeing views from area’s you’d normally never hear about when people talk about Japan; it’s mostly only about central Tokyo, or Kyoto.

  • What if kids start to move from one side to other? Sling effect…

    I like the old mixed with new buildings like they do in Japan, makes it somewhat a tribute to tradition.

    Clean shots from above! Must have been fun, ne?

    • A lot of fun. I was only intended to go to the Awaodori Kaikan and was surprised to see the ropeway as well. Very nice surprise 🙂 There is a mosque and a small museum on the top as well

  • These are some really nice shots.
    They make me wanna go there the next time I visit Japan.
    In general I love your photos. They give me the travel bug.
