Tokushima offers a blend of tradition and nature, with central stops within 3km of each other. Begin at Awa Odori Kaikan to watch a live performance of Tokushima's 400-year-old dance festival, then ride the Bizan Ropeway in the same building up Mt. Bizan for 360-degree views of the city, Yoshino River, and surrounding mountains. Continue to the Ruins of Tokushima Castle to explore its stone walls and Omote-goten Garden, followed by the Tokushima Castle Museum, displaying samurai armor and a whale-hunting boat used by the Hachisuka lords. The tour concludes with a stroll through Shinmachigawa Mizugiwa Park along the river. Since these five sights sit near Tokushima Station, the public-transport plan covers just this compact loop. The private-vehicle plan adds a detour to Ryozenji Temple, Temple No. 1 of the Shikoku Pilgrimage in Naruto, before continuing to the five central sights. Either way, the itinerary can be adjusted within the allotted time.
