    Tokushima Prefecture Tokushima-shi Shinmachi 2-20 Awaodori-kaikan 5F
    The ropeway leads to the top of Mt. Bizan, the symbol of Tokushima City. 6 minutes from the foot of the mountain to the top station, you will feel as if you are taking a walk in the sky, and if the weather is fine, you can see Tokushima City, Awaji Island and the Kii Peninsula from the top.

    A cable car (Ropeway) leaves from time to time to go up and down the Mountain. At the top is a temple and restaurant and good views even at night with the lights of the city.

    Tokushima Pref. Nakagunnakachou Wajikigou Tano 76
    The Tairyuji Ropeway connects the Washi-no-Sato roadside station rest area in Naka Town, Naka County, Tokushima Prefecture with the Tairyu-ji Temple, which is the 21st temple of the Shikoku 88-temple Pilgrimage. With a total length of 2,775 meters, it is the longest ropeway in Western Japan. The Ropeway crosses the Naka River (a Class A major river) and passes over 600-meter-high hills. In the past, pilgrims could only travel to the Tairyu-ji Temple to worship by ascending a steep mountain path, a serious obstacle that was known colloquially as the “pilgrim slide” because it was so difficult to climb up. Following the construction of the Ropeway, it was possible for larger numbers of pilgrims to visit the Temple.

    One of the longest ropeways I’ve ever been on. The views were amazing and the destination was beautiful. Staff was very friendly and knew their stuff.
