Awagin Bizan Ropeway

あわぎん眉山ロープウェイ

Mt. Bizan is the symbol of Tokushima City, and this ropeway carries visitors to its summit. The base station is on the 5th floor of the Awa Odori Kaikan, a short walk from JR Tokushima Station. From the top you get a wide view over the city, and on clear days you can see Awaji Island and the Kii Peninsula. It is also open into the evening in the warmer months.

Tips for Muslim visitors

The ropeway ride takes about 6 minutes each way.
Natural sites may have few facilities. Bring water, a travel prayer mat and a qibla app, and check the weather; mountains and lakes can be much colder than the city.
Restrooms for wudu can be far apart on trails. Many Muslim travellers carry a small water bottle for wudu.
Plan your visit around prayer times. Below are today's prayer times for Tokushima and the verified places to pray nearby.
Food stalls and shops near popular sights usually do not have halal certification. Check the ingredients, or choose from the verified places on this site.
