Tokushima Travel Forum

Is there any bus that runs between Kyoto and Tokushima? How much does it cost? Any suggestion on a cheap place to stay(I don't mind a rat hole)?

Thanks.

Not between Kyoto and Tokushima, but between San'nomiya, Kobe and Tokushima, there is.

Unfortunatelly English information is not available.
I think you will be able to read information if you install japanese character into your PC.
I just copy time tabale down here in case you can not read japanese character.
I think transportation between these area by bus may be smart choice.

What's Tokushima like? Is it worth going?

Um...Well...
Frankly speaking , foreign people might be rare to travel Tokushima.
But I'd love to recomend to travel such unknown place.
You may feel and see our ordinary life at there.

Koji

Sounds good. I love going to places others don't :)

Hye, This is Battur. From Mongolian. I live in Tokushima. Can you come in Tokushima. If you have any problem you are going e-mail to me. It is may e-mail* battur23@yahoo.com. I sure that I help you.

The Little Voice:

If you like going to places tourists (expecially on those escorted tours)are not as likely to go --- try jigokudani monkey park during the winter --- great to have those monkeys scampering about you and bathing in the pools.

I finally made the trip to Tokushima --- using information from this website and writing to TOPIA in Tokushima for the best time for the whirlpool, we made it there with no problems. We also visited other places -- especially enjoying Kazurabashi vine bridge, the loads of pilgrims in their white kimonos(?) eating the huge specialty noodles, etc. Who said there was not much to do on Shikoku??? We enjoyed it with beautiful weather, the special Cherry Blossom Festival at night in Ritsurin Park, the great views from Yashima, falling snow as we descended from Iya Valley, Kochi with its statues of historical heroes Kazutoyo and Chiyo, Matsuyama Castle.

Thank you for the info which made this enjoyable trip possible.

Congratulations, Butt8.
Shikoku is still one of my dreaming-to-go destinations.
Share us your descriptions here so that I can learn well before I visit there.
