Questions about Bizan Ropeway
Can I take Bizan Ropeway after an Awa Odori show?
After a daytime show, take the ropeway from the same Kaikan building’s fifth floor. If you want to combine the ropeway with an evening performance, first check whether the ropeway is still running when the show ends. In winter, the ropeway closes before the evening show starts.
