Mount Bizan

(Source : PIXTA)
Mount Bizan, the symbol of Tokushima city is a gently-sloping small mountain which is 290 meters high above sea level. There is a poem about it in Manyoshu, the oldest anthology of poems in Japan. The poem mentions the mountain as eyebrow shaped when seen between clouds. This beautiful mountain has been cherished by people since old times. There is a ropeway that leads to the park at the top of Mount Bizan. The park is colored with cherry blossoms in spring, red and yellow leaves in fall. The top of the mountain has a gorgeous panoramic view. It’s even more beautiful view at night and attracts many couples for a romantic date.

Breathtaking panoramic view

Not only having been written in classic poems, Mount Bizan has been featured in movies and songs because of its breathtaking panoramic view. Especially on fine days, you can see the clear scenery including the other side of the Seto Inland Sea.

The nighttime view is appropriated to a sparkling jewelry box.

The nighttime view from Mount Bizan is so impressive that many couples visit here on a date. The altitude is not too high nor too low, and there is no obstacle that blocks the view. The city lights shining at just the right distance creates a romantic mood. From December 1st to 25th every year, they illuminate the observation deck at the top of the mountain. During this “Christmas LED illumination,” the ropeway also runs at night.
