The view from Mount Bizan

 


Mount Bizan is a 291 metre-high mountain overlooking Tokushima City.


The Bizan Ropeway runs from the 5th floor of the Awa Odori Hall and in six minutes takes you up to Bizan Park.


You have extensive views over the city to the North, East, and South.


The sea is not far away..... on a good day you can see the coast of Wakayama....


It is ranked the number one night view on Shikoku....


There is a small shrine and what appears to be a south-east Asian pagoda...



The view to the west is over the mountains that stretch away....


The broad Yoshino River dominates the view to the north...

  1. That stupa is called the Tokushima Pagoda, and is dedicated to the memory of Japanese soldiers who served in Burma during World War II.
