Buses from Tokushima to Naruto Park
Tokushima Bus routes toward Naruto serve the park and the area around the Otsuka Museum of Art. Stops and routing vary by destination, so check the destination display together with the timetable.

Choose the correct stop
Not every bus toward Naruto reaches Naruto Park. Check the destination display and official map: services differ via Naruto Station, the airport, the university and Uchinoumi.
For the museum, look for Otsuka Kokusai Bijutsukan-mae; for the park and Uzu-no-Michi, check the walk from Naruto Koen. Do not confuse this with the separate Naruto Koenguchi highway-bus stop.
From boarding to alighting
When paying with cash or a paper multi-ride ticket, take a numbered ticket as you board and pay the fare corresponding to its number when leaving. With a transit IC card, tap the blue reader at the entrance instead of taking a numbered ticket, then tap the yellow reader beside the fare box when getting off.
Tokushima Bus local routes have accepted nationwide interoperable cards, including ICOCA and Suica, since March 17, 2026. The no-IC-card note in the 2024 fare chart predates this introduction. Follow the current instructions and keep sufficient balance; tell the driver before tapping if paying for several people with one card.
Timetables and the return journey
The operator publishes dated PDF timetables. At the verification date, the Naruto Park combined timetable is marked revised 1 April 2026. Do not choose a current service solely by the journal’s March “18” or journey time.
Allow for road congestion on event days and check backup transport and return services before leaving.
