Cafe Toast Bizan was first opened in 1927 as a Western-style restaurant, and in 1965, the shop was handed over to the second owner, who renovated the cafe as a pure coffee shop.

The "Whiskey Coffee," an eye-catching item on the menu, will warm you to the core when sipped during the cold winter months.　 　　　 The classic interior of the restaurant has remained unchanged since its renovation in 1979.

Activity Ropeway The ropeway connects from the base station at the 5th floor of the Awaodori Festival Hall (Awa Odori Kaikan in Japanese) to the 290-meter-high summit of Mt. Bizan. It takes about 6 minutes one way. Mt. Bizan is the symbol of Tokushima City, as described in Manyoshu, the oldest anthology of Japanese poetry, as "Awa no Yama (Awa's mountain) which look far off in the distance, as long and horizontal as eyebrows...". The Bizan Park observatory at the top of the mountain offers a spectacular night view if you visit at night. On a clear day, you can see the magnificent Yoshino River, Asan Mountains, Awaji Island, and even the far-off Kii Peninsula. Another attraction of the trip is the changing nature of the seasons, such as cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, and the Tokushima city area that you can see through the windows while you glide your way. 　　　 It's so nice that the ropeway is easily accessible because it's close to the station. You can go to the top of the mountain whenever you feel like it. The panoramic view of Tokushima City from the top of Mt. Bizan is "THE View"! The sight of the majestic Yoshino River is especially breathtaking, reminding us once again that Tokushima is a "water city". 　　　 　　　 It is a bit cold on a sunny winter day, but I recommend getting coffee and bread to take out before going on the ropeway. You can enjoy a picnic at the top of the mountain. The sky is so wide, and the earth is so round... 　　　 Opening hours 4/1 to 10/31: 9:00-21:0011/1 to 3/31: 9:00-17:301/1 (New Year Day)：6:00 -17:30 Regular holiday Open all year Tickets Adult one-way 620 yen (return 1030 yen)elementary school children one-way 300 yen (return 510 yen) URLOfficial Website Find a route on Google Maps
