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’s fifth floor. For an evening show, compare its finishing time with the ropeway’s last service first. In winter, the ropeway finishes before the evening show starts.
