Questions about Bizan Ropeway
Can I take the ropeway after an Awa Odori show?
After a daytime show, you can use the same building’s fifth-floor ropeway. For an evening-show combination, compare the show’s finish with ropeway closing time first. In winter, the ropeway closes before the evening show starts.
